Ever wished you could hit rewind on a relationship? “Máquina Del Tiempo” turns that fantasy into a catchy confession. Jay Wheeler imagines stepping into a time-travel gadget, zipping back to the very moment he met his ex, and saving himself the heartbreak he now carries. The chorus is a bittersweet mix of regret and relief: he sees that loving her was a mistake, yet the experience taught him to value self-love first.
Behind the reggaetón rhythm lies a powerful message of growth. Wheeler lists the emotional toll— tears, frustration, lost time— then announces he is done chasing someone who let him down. By the end, the singer isn’t asking Cupid for another arrow; he’s celebrating newfound peace in his own company. It is a relatable anthem for anyone who’s ever wished for a do-over but decided to move forward stronger instead.
