Malú transforms heartbreak into a fiery lesson in “Aprendiz”. Over passionate guitars and soaring vocals, she tells her partner: “If I hurt you now, it is because you taught me how.” The once–innocent narrator confesses that his repeated lies and bitter kisses have turned her into a mirror of his cruelty. Each verse drips with irony as she thanks him for being her maestro of pain, while cursing both the teacher and the student she has become.
The song dives into the cycle of toxic love where tenderness shatters like “cristales rotos.” Malú’s lyrics reveal a roller-coaster of emotions: • Betrayal – sweet words mask constant deception. • Transformation – love’s pupil evolves into a hardened version of herself. • Rebellion – she refuses guilt, throwing his accusations back with raw honesty.
“Aprendiz” is a powerful reminder that the way we treat others can shape them in return. It is both a lament and a battle cry, delivered with the unmistakable passion of this Spanish-Cuban artist.
