“No Dura” is Karen Méndez’s bittersweet confession that nothing good seems to stick around for her. Over a smooth urban beat, the Peruvian singer scribbles on paper what she can’t say face-to-face, listing every risk she took on love and every chip she lost at the table. The hook “No dura, a mí lo bueno no me dura” (“Good things don’t last for me”) echoes like a resigned mantra, turning personal heartbreak into a relatable chorus for anyone who has watched promises fade as fast as they were made.
Yet the track is more than a breakup lament. Méndez flips the pain into a moment of clarity: she spots the “enemy” she once hugged, realizes she poured loyalty into the wrong hands, and chooses to cut ties before life drifts further off course. By the time the beat drops out, “No Dura” feels like ripping off a Band-Aid—sharp, necessary, and freeing. Sing along and you might just find yourself letting go of your own salt-stung memories, ready for something that actually does last.
