From the very first question "¿Y cómo has estado?" Reik’s smooth Mexican pop meets Rusherking’s fresh urban vibe, plunging us into a bittersweet catch-up between two ex-lovers who clearly never moved on. The lyrics are full of travel imagery: impulsively buying plane tickets, staring out a fogged-up window, feeling stuck on a one-way trip without a return pass. Over a catchy Latin beat they confess that without the other they feel apaga’o (switched off) and remind us that real love is never chosen—it simply happens.
Yet "A Mi Lado" is anything but hopeless. The duo pleads for a restart, stacking heartfelt apologies, promises of magic tricks, and memories of the química that once sparked. It’s a relatable anthem about realizing too late that you let your media naranja—your perfect half—slip away. Whether you’re nursing a breakup or reminiscing about an old flame, this lively yet dramatic track invites you to sing, sway, and maybe even text that person you still miss.
Reik is a Mexican pop rock band hailing from Mexicali, Baja California, formed in 2003 by Jesús Alberto Navarro Rosas (lead vocals), Julio Ramírez Eguía (guitar), and Gilberto Marín Espinoza (guitar). Known for their heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies, the band initially captured fans with their romantic Latin pop sound through albums like their self-titled debut and "Un Día Más," which won a Latin Grammy.
Since 2015, Reik has evolved by embracing urban influences, collaborating with reggaeton stars such as Nicky Jam, Ozuna, and Maluma. This transition revitalized their music, earning them chart-topping hits like "Me Niego" and "Amigos Con Derechos," and expanding their popularity across Latin America and beyond. With multiple awards and a dynamic sound that blends pop rock and Latin urban styles, Reik continues to be a leading force in contemporary Latin music.
