Intro 1
Why are you going to love me?
If I already said goodbye to you
If I already bid farewell from you
I don't want to know more about your kisses
Intro 2
Why are you going to love me?
I already gave you your forgiveness
The resentment has never been in me
Now, whatever you do is worth nothing to me
Verse 1
Why are you going to love me?
If we're in different stages and I already forgot you
If because of you, I screwed myself, I fell, and I got back up
The one you were with is already gone
I've come up with a couple of reasons that I've broken hearts
Trying to fill voids that you can't even fill with gallons
If this is for you to sing drunk
I only miss doing it with you without a condom
And rightly, it hurt you so little
Honestly, it wasn't me who jumped ship
And your idiotic heart
It will always miss me, baby
Chorus 1
Why are you going to love me?
If I already said goodbye to you
If I already bid farewell from you
I don't want to know more about your kisses
Why are you going to love me?
I already gave you your forgiveness
The resentment has never been in me
Now, whatever you do is worth nothing to me
Verse 2
I loved you, I wanted you
But already those days are over
Now you cry, regretful
Thinking of me while your coffee gets cold
I'm sure you miss my birthmark
And not having anyone to have breakfast with
I'm sorry, my love, I just took my place
Find another heart to play with
I was religious to you, I adored you
The moon knows how much I cried for you
When I was sad
And you never came
But it's normal, normal
Calm, I'm not going to talk badly about you
I can forgive you but never forget
Don't talk nicely to me, I say it again
Chorus 2
Why are you going to love me?
If I already said goodbye to you
If I already bid farewell from you
I don't want to know more about your kisses
Why are you going to love me?
I already gave you your forgiveness
The resentment has never been in me
Now, whatever you do is worth nothing to me
Verse 3
You won't be able to do
Plastic surgery for the soul
To change something that doesn't fail you
Your cornerstone, your cornerstone
That you're going to love me!
I existed if you imagined me
And I'd jump if you said frog
This phrase is a Spanish idiom. The expression 'decir rana' (literally 'say frog') refers to someone responding instantly or obediently to a request or command.
But I got tired of being your fool
Because you lost sensitivity
You left alone without looking back
You learned to differentiate
What seems and what is
What is written in the stars
From what is written on paper
There are other loves also
Like Forrest Gump's girlfriend
The clock on the wall says
Yes, our love ended yesterday
Why are you going to love me?
Why are you going to love me?
Chorus 3
Why are you going to love me?
If I already said goodbye to you
If I already bid farewell from you
I don't want to know more about your kisses
Why are you going to love me?
I already gave you your forgiveness
The resentment has never been in me
Now, whatever you do is worth nothing to me

SONG MEANING

"Un Peso" blocks the exit door on a past relationship and throws away the key. J Balvin and Bad Bunny trade verses full of wit and swagger, while Argentinian rock legend Marciano Cantero drops in with his unmistakable voice. Together they paint a picture of someone who has finally shaken off an ex’s spell: “¿Pa’ qué me vas a amar?” Why bother loving me now if I have already said goodbye? The track mixes laid-back reggaetón drums with a hint of rock nostalgia, giving the message a cool, almost nonchalant vibe that says, “I’m over it, and I’m dancing about it.”

The lyrics flip between lighthearted teasing and blunt honesty. The narrator admits he once cried under the moon, but now every memory of that ex is worth un peso—just a single coin. Forgiveness comes easy, resentment never took root, yet there is zero room for a reunion. The song is an anthem of self-respect: learning from heartbreak, standing taller, and knowing your worth. By the final chorus, the listener can almost feel the weight lift off the singer’s shoulders—and maybe their own, too—as the beat carries them into a future where old kisses hold no value. 💔🪙💃
