Manuel Carrasco’s vibrant anthem Hay Que Vivir El Momento is a wake-up call wrapped in feel-good pop. From the very first line the Spanish singer invites us to stop postponing happiness and jump straight into life’s main act. He looks back at past scars and street-taught lessons, then flips them into fuel for freedom, courage and celebration. Every “Mira” – which means “Look!” – feels like a friendly nudge, saying Eyes up, the show is happening right now!
Underneath the catchy beat lies a powerful message about authenticity. Carrasco pushes back against social media facades, empty advice and anyone trying to control his ideas. He chooses honesty, loyal companionship and self-determination, even if that means “dying with these boots on.” When he sings the chorus “Hay que vivir el momento,” he reminds us that darkness only makes stars shine brighter, clock hands can dance, and hearts can spin like hurricanes. The song ultimately celebrates taking risks, changing what needs to change and breathing in the present with all its imperfect, exhilarating glory.
