Diablos literally translates to "devils", but in this song, it's used as a dramatic intensifier in questions, just like saying "the hell" or "on earth" in English.
Becky G repeatedly asks, "¿Cómo diablos...?" (How the hell...?) and "¿Por qué diablos...?" (Why the hell...?), demanding answers about why her relationship ended. Learning this word is a great way to understand how Spanish speakers add frustration and emphasis to their questions in everyday conversation.
“COMO DIABLOS” finds Becky G caught in the raw aftermath of a breakup, feeling a never-ending heartache that not even alcohol or medicine can numb. She questions her ex—“Baby, ¿qué fue?”—and vents her disbelief that someone she loved so fiercely could leave so easily. The song swings between vulnerability (admitting she misses his kisses like medicine) and fiery self-confidence (reminding herself she’s “un fuckin’ cien”).
This emotional tug-of-war creates a relatable anthem: it’s about mourning lost love while refusing to stay broken. Becky G’s lyrics blend heartbreak, humor, and empowerment, showing listeners that it’s okay to hurt, okay to curse the pain, and absolutely necessary to remember your worth as you dance your way back to happiness.
