Con La Cara En Alto by Mexican trio Reik is a heartfelt goodbye song that turns the end of a relationship into a moment of courage. Instead of pointing fingers or drowning in sadness, the singers ask their partner to face them, acknowledge the good times, and part “with heads held high.” The lyrics remember dreams, smiles, and even a kiss that almost “killed” them, all while accepting that life will go on and new loves will come.
In this emotional snapshot, Reik balances nostalgia with maturity. They admit the pain of letting go, yet insist on one last burst of sanity: honor the memories, recognize how deeply they loved each other, and close the chapter with dignity. It is a song about ending well—celebrating what was beautiful while bravely stepping into whatever comes next.
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.
