In “Melancolía”, Puerto Rican hit-maker Nicky Jam opens his diary and lets us peek inside. Over a smooth, nostalgic beat, he admits he once acted on impulse, weeps for broken dreams, and walks through a lonely “desert” of uncertainty. Yet the song is not just a tear-jerker; it’s a philosophical reminder that everything that goes up must come down. Love can be thrilling one minute and vanish the next, so we’d better learn to flow with life’s constant changes.
Instead of begging for a reunion, Nicky does something rare in breakup songs: he cheers on his ex. He wants her to love herself first, to move from the icy chill of winter straight into the warmth of spring. By repeating the mantra that “everything ends someday,” he turns heartbreak into a life lesson about impermanence, self-worth, and renewal. The result is a track that feels bittersweet yet empowering—perfect for singing your sorrows away while practicing those English verbs!
