“Verano” paints the picture of a sweltering summer evening in 2016, where the singer relives a breakup that still lingers in every breath of warm air. Lying on the couch with the fan whirring, she can’t escape the voice of the one who left. Memories wash over her like waves—scrapbook clippings, once-shared songs, and the stubborn ache of unresolved love. Desperate to feel close again, she imagines knocking on that familiar door, celebrating what would have been their anniversary, and touching the sky just like the very first time.
At its heart, the song is a bittersweet confession: she traveled the world with a suitcase full of attempts to move on, yet nothing made her truly happy. The lyrics capture the tug-of-war between acceptance and longing, hope and regret. As night falls, she owns her lateness, her lingering love, and the cold loneliness of having nowhere else to sleep. “Verano” invites listeners to bask in the glow of nostalgia, admitting that sometimes the past still feels like home—especially when the summer heat refuses to let old voices fade away.
