Hasta Cuando finds the Colombian-American star Kali Uchis serving a sharply worded reality check to an ex who just will not let go. Sung in a fluid mix of Spanish and English, the track is a confident R&B groove where Kali laughs off rumors, mocks fabricated memories, and flexes her new-found queen status. The repeated question ¿Hasta cuándo? (How long?) captures her exasperation as she tells the gossip-monger to quit name-dropping her and allow her to live happily on her own terms.
At its core, the song is an anthem of self-worth and boundary setting. Kali Uchis flips the script by: • Exposing the lies her ex spreads to feel important. • Celebrating her own success and independence. • Pointing out the jealousy she inspires in both her ex and his new partner.
With playful taunts and fearless swagger, Kali reminds listeners that clinging to the past only highlights the glow-up of the one who moved on. "Hasta Cuando" is not just a breakup song; it is a triumphant declaration that the best revenge is living beautifully while the haters stay pressed.
