Have you ever sworn that love just wasn’t your thing, only to have one magical kiss flip the whole script? That is exactly the plot twist Mexican powerhouse Yuridia sings about in "Literal." She starts as a self-confessed skeptic, but the moment sparks fly, her heart feels “flooded to the neck” with emotion. The song turns her disbelief into giggly, teen-like joy: she can’t stop smiling, love is suddenly everywhere in her mind, and every cliché she once doubted now makes perfect sense.
"Literal" is a vibrant confession of total surrender. Yuridia promises she would trade everything, stick her hands in the fire, and—most importantly—say those two huge words she once avoided: Te quiero. In just a few lines, the track moves from doubt to devotion, capturing that exhilarating moment when love crashes in and makes a believer out of even the toughest cynic.
