La Pena is a late-night confessional wrapped in a smooth reggaeton beat. Puerto Rican hitmaker Tainy teams up with Colombian singer Dylan Fuentes to tell the story of a man who cannot shake the memory of his last love. No matter how hard he tries, new flings and hazy bar lights cannot replace the spark she left behind. A playful nod to Rosalía’s song "Yo x Ti, Tú x Mi" reminds us of a time when everything felt balanced and perfect, making the present heartbreak sting even more.
Although the rhythm makes you sway, the lyrics reveal a swirl of regret and self-blame. The narrator turns to alcohol as his “medicine,” hoping each bottle will dull the ache he carries inside. He imagines his ex’s heart buried “under cement,” unreachable despite his desperate attempts to mend things. La Pena captures the universal tug-of-war between wanting to forget and needing to remember, proving that sometimes the most danceable tracks hide the deepest wounds.
