SONG MEANING

ME TENGO QUE IR pairs two Colombian powerhouses, KAROL G and Kali Uchis, in a breakup anthem that feels equal parts spicy and self-empowering. The chorus sets the scene: “Puede que conmigo duermas… pero no te siento” – they might still share a bed, yet the emotional signal is completely lost. Over a sensual reggaetón groove, the singers list the red flags: fake familiarity, unpaid “debts” of passion, even wasted mobile data. Instead of clinging to the illusion, they choose self-respect. The repeated line “ya yo me tengo que ir” is not just a goodbye, it’s a confident exit toward something better.

What makes the track so relatable is its mix of humor and honesty. KAROL G shrugs off the past with playful jabs (“Papi, tú eres un perro y ando en busca de gato”), while Kali Uchis slips into English to remind him of the good life he just lost. Together they deliver a clear message: when love stops feeling real, the bravest move is to walk away, head high and playlist loud.
