Rauw Alejandro turns heartbreak into a catchy confession in Corazón Despeinado. Over bouncy reggaetón drums he narrates a roller-coaster romance with a girl who cancels movie dates, calls him drunk for late-night rescues, studies at Starbucks by day, then parties like a pandillera by night. Repeating Perdón por ser así (sorry for being like this), he shows how both lovers swing between passion and apathy while ignoring every obvious red flag he is warned about.
The phrase corazón despeinado literally means “messy heart,” and that is the essence of the song: feelings so tangled they refuse to be tamed. Rauw admits he misses her beautiful chaos, yet finally decides not to keep playing the hero when she runs back. Mixing humor, Puerto Rican slang, and raw honesty, the track reminds us that some relationships are thrilling but leave us disoriented, like waking up with bed-head emotions you just can’t comb into place.
