Heartbreak with a regional Mexican beat – “Está Dañado” paints the raw moment right after love shatters. Ivan Cornejo remembers the scent, the eyes and the dance-floor magic that once made him feel invincible, only to realize that the promise of “amor eterno” was fragile. Each line circles the same wound: he can’t sleep, his body still longs for hers, even his mom keeps asking where the girl went. The chorus repeats the cruel twist: “me lo partiste en dos” – she broke his heart in two.
From dream to lesson. The track is not just a sad confession; it is also a coming-of-age moment. Cornejo admits he “fell very well” for her sweet words, yet he doesn’t regret it because the pain taught him what not to do next time. Wrapped in melancholic guitars and a slow, haunting rhythm, the song invites listeners to sway while reflecting on how quickly forever can turn into goodbye.
