Verse 1

She goes out to be happy

She goes out to smile

She goes out and only hurts herself

But I understand her because I've been there

She's not the same one that I knew

And when I saw her from afar

Getting lost in the night that she swore she wouldn't repeat

Prechorus 1

She paints her lips pink

Black dress, and inside her tears

I had your hair in my hands

You changed it, oh how much you've changed

Chorus 1

And look at you

I don't even know you anymore

And look at you

I can't even see your face

And the woman that I loved so much

Where did she go?

Verse 2

She goes out to be happy

And she goes out just to say

That everything is fine

When you know it's not

And tattooed on your skin

What never happened

I know that they don't see in you

What I can see

She goes out to be happy

And she goes out just to feel

That you have fun for a moment

But the wind takes it away

That it brings you to me is a matter of time

No need to lie when I know that it's true

Prechorus 2

She paints her lips pink

Black dress, and inside her tears

I had your hair in my hands

You changed it, oh how much you've changed

Chorus 2

And look at you

I don't even know you anymore

And look at you

I can't even see your face

And the woman that I loved so much

Where did she go?

SONG MEANING

“Sale Para Ser Feliz” paints the neon-lit scene of a young woman who heads out each night determined to have fun, yet carries a silent storm inside. Ivan Cornejo watches her from a distance, remembering the girl he once loved: rose-tinted lips, a black dress, and tears no one else sees. The song becomes a bittersweet confession—he understands her urge to party because he has worn the same mask of forced smiles. As the music sways with Regional Mexican guitars, Cornejo mourns the way heartbreak has transformed her, wondering where the woman he adored has gone.

Beneath the catchy rhythm lies a tug-of-war between appearance and reality. The crowd may only see her dancing, but the narrator sees the unhealed wounds “tatuado en tu piel.” He hopes time will guide her back to a genuine happiness—and maybe back to him—yet the song leaves us in the lingering ache of uncertainty. “Sale Para Ser Feliz” is both a cautionary tale and a compassionate embrace for anyone who parties to outrun their pain.
