Prince Royce and Shakira spin a sensual bachata tale about the exhausting merry-go-round of a love that never truly heals. In "Deja Vu" they confess that each reunion feels like reopening an old wound, no matter how many shots of tequila try to disinfect the pain. The lovers recognise the cycle—passion, betrayal, regret—and decide it is wiser to stay alone than fall back into the same picture of “locura, hipocresía total.”
Throughout the song they challenge anyone brave enough to raise a hand and vouch for real love, or to pay the emotional bail money that would free their aching hearts. By the end, both singers agree: if someone is going to preach about love, it definitely will not be them. "Deja Vu" is a rhythmic reminder that sometimes self-preservation beats romance, even on the dance floor.
