“Adiós Amor” is Jessie Reyez’s bilingual goodbye letter set to a smooth R&B groove. Switching between Spanish and English, the Colombian-Canadian artist waves a confident “see-ya” to a partner who took her for granted. She lists the cold facts: she poured in love, they played games, and now her phone is off while she heals. In clever lines like “Cold world, babe, I should’ve cheated” and “all that clout you got, I gave you that de caridad,” Jessie flips heartbreak into swagger, reminding her ex who really held the power.
The chorus compares moving on to natural cycles – the scent after rain, the ache after love, the moon giving way to the sun – showing that endings are as inevitable as they are cleansing. With every “Adiós amor,” she stamps closure on the relationship, urging her former flame to “find God in your future” while she steps into hers. The result is a liberating anthem that blends vulnerability with fierce self-respect, perfect for anyone ready to turn the page and dance while doing it.
