SONG MEANING

Picture two ex–lovers standing in the dark after the power has gone out. That sudden blackout is El Apagón, the moment when every sweet promise of “spring in winter” is exposed as wishful thinking. Malú and Melendi trade lines like sparks, recalling how many times they laughed, danced until sunrise and whispered on the phone, only to realize that the light keeping their romance alive was already flickering.

The chorus, "Sin tu luz, el apagón," flips heartbreak on its head: once the dazzling glow of the relationship vanishes, so do the illusions and the pain. The song is a bittersweet tally of memories—counting magical nights, half–answered calls and near–missed dreams—set against the liberating calm that follows when the lights go off. In short, it is a catchy lesson in letting go: sometimes a blackout is exactly what you need to see things clearly.
