Melendi turns the mirror on himself and invites us to listen in on the hilarious, sometimes brutal conversation he has with… Melendi. In “De Pequeño Fue El Coco,” the Asturian singer admits that his first love is the man staring back at him, the one who knows every insecurity and every trick for self-sabotage. Through playful rhymes and tongue-in-cheek scolding, he shows how easy it is to flip from cheering yourself on to tripping yourself up. The result feels like a comic duel where pride, guilt, and a mischievous inner child all fight for the mic.
The song’s lesson is simple yet powerful: embrace the mess. After circling his own mind “mil vueltas,” Melendi realizes that some parts of us are better accepted than fixed. Not every caterpillar turns into a butterfly, and that is perfectly fine. By acknowledging both his courage and his cowardice, he frees himself to grow without pretending to be perfect. It is a cheeky reminder that your greatest ally and worst enemy share the same body, so you might as well learn to laugh, dance, and sing along with them. 🎶
