Have you ever felt that love keeps dealing you the worst hand? La De La Mala Suerte (“The Unlucky One”) captures that sinking feeling. Jesse & Joy, joined by Spanish singer Pablo Alborán, tell the story of someone who tasted the “forbidden apple” of a thrilling romance only to discover a bittersweet core. The narrator believed in a genuine connection, yet she is left with visits that end at sunrise and declarations of love that ring hollow once she discovers another person in her partner’s room. Every line paints the frustration of being nobody’s priority, just their pastime.
In the chorus she pleads to forget him, bury the pain, and be the strong one. All she ever asked for was honesty, because love does not need to be perfect, only truthful. Realizing she cannot share a heart that was never really hers, she wonders aloud why she is always the unlucky one in love. The song blends tender vocals with aching lyrics, turning a personal heartbreak into an anthem of self-respect and emotional courage.
