Ricardo Arjona teams up with fellow Guatemalan singer Gaby Moreno to paint a cinematic love story that starts in blazing technicolor and fades into grayscale. Fuiste Tú ("It Was You") is a duet of sweet blame, where two ex–lovers rewind the film of their romance: the wallet-sized photo, the road-trip kisses, the neon lights that once felt like fireworks. Each memory is a postcard from a relationship that burned bright, then dimmed into blue notes.
Arjona’s lyrics juggle light and shadow. He reminds us that roses come with thorns, gray clouds also belong in the landscape, and love often wears convenient disguises. The chorus repeats the pointed verdict—Fuiste tú—like the final stamp on a bittersweet letter, accepting that passion can be effortless at first but heartbreak demands honesty in the end. Listening to this song is like strolling barefoot at dawn after an all-night dance: tender, nostalgic, and beautifully human.
