In Fin De Semana, Puerto Rican hit-maker Luis Fonsi pours his heart into a weekend that feels endlessly lonely. The narrator heads out for drinks, hoping the nightlife will drown out the pain of a recent breakup, yet every sip only reminds him that his partner is gone. Vivid lyrics paint the scene: unanswered texts, empty beds, and a guilt that “mata la culpa” (kills him with remorse). Even scrolling through her social media stings, because he can see she hurts too.
The chorus repeats his bittersweet ritual—another night out, another glass raised in her name, another attempt to sleep fully clothed because sharing a bed alone feels wrong. The song captures that restless loop of regret and longing many people feel after love slips away. Despite the upbeat reggaetón groove, the real pulse here is emotional: Fonsi shows that sometimes the hardest part of any weekend is realizing you have to spend it without the one you love.
