Raise your glass, but keep a tissue handy. In “Turbulencia,” Puerto Rican artist Jay Wheeler mixes the high-energy vibe of a night out with the dizzying emotions of regret. The singer looks back on a relationship where his partner taught him to fly, yet he turned the trip into rough air. While the crowd parties around him, his conscience screams louder than the music, reminding him that he confused love with dependence and dimmed the light of someone truly special.
The chorus becomes a bittersweet farewell. Jay tells his ex to leave, to find happiness far from the chaos he caused. He owns his mistakes, thanks her for everything, and even hopes she never misses him. It is a humble, self-aware break-up anthem about admitting you are the problem and setting the other person free—no matter how much it hurts.
