Peso Pluma’s “Bye” puts a modern Corrido Tumbado twist on the classic breakup anthem. Over a laid-back guitar groove, the Mexican artist faces the blurry dawn after a relationship ends. He admits the hurt is real (“al chile, sí me dolió”) but insists the ache is fading bit by bit. The song swings between nostalgia and bold self-assurance: one moment he is replaying memories of an ex, the next he is lighting up, pouring wine, and promising himself new “princesas” to keep his mind busy.
Behind the cool swagger lies a relatable message: sometimes love runs its course, and the healthiest choice is to wish the other person good luck and walk away. “Bye” captures that bittersweet crossroads where sorrow meets liberation, turning heartbreak into a toast to self-respect and fresh beginnings.
