SONG MEANING

Ricky Martin’s "Tiburones" dives into the choppy waters of a romance that has been stuck in fight mode for too long. From the opening line — "Ya no sé por qué peleamos así" — he calls for a cease-fire, begging his partner to stay a little longer, share a kiss, and remember that their hearts hate being alone. The verses feel like the moment when two people finally drop their shields and admit the years are slipping away while they keep hurting each other.

The chorus explodes with heroic vows and fresh ideas: move to a new house, take a month-long trip, speak another language, kiss right in the street. Ricky swears he would cross the earth, wrestle a thousand lions, and even swim with sharks — all to prove that this love is worth saving. In the end, "Tiburones" is a rallying cry to stop battling each other and start battling for each other, turning conflict into adventure and rebuilding the relationship with courage, passion, and a brand-new stage.
