Ready for a goodbye that feels as sweet as it is sad? El Ratico pairs Colombian superstar Juanes with the silky voice of Kali Uchis to tell the tale of a romance that burned bright but brief. Both singers look back on those wild moments — sleepless nights, passionate dreams, even an engagement ring — and admit that while they "pasamos rico" (had an amazing time), the clock has run out.
Instead of blaming one side, the duet owns up to shared mistakes and mixed emotions. The verses sway between regret and gratitude, while the catchy chorus reminds us that some loves are meant to be enjoyed for just a little while. El Ratico is a musical sigh of relief: a fresh, tropical pop groove that teaches us how to celebrate the memories, accept the ending, and keep dancing forward.
