SONG MEANING

Step into the year 2000, where a young Natalia Lafourcade flips through glossy magazines, day-dreams about brainy Parisians, and side-eyes the Friday-night drunks all at once. With playful irony she paints a world obsessed with pop idols like Ricky Martin, choked by gossiping “Martas,” and divided by class and politics. Behind the bubbly beat she questions every social label: fresa vs. pobre, macho vs. “hombre inteligente,” heartthrob vs. empty promise.

As the chorus bursts with Ya no soy… Natalia drops the biggest truth bomb of all: this is a coming-of-age anthem. She is shedding her “infantil criatura,” confronting heartbreak, family drama, and societal pressure, and daring the planet that “gira y gira a la derecha” to show her what comes next. The result is a witty, rebellious snapshot of millennial growing pains that invites listeners to laugh, reflect, and sing along while they search for their own place in a rapidly spinning world.
