"Pa' Olvidarte" is ChocQuibTown’s hip-hop toast to heartbreak. From the very first line, the Colombian group admits the simple truth: every drink is an attempt to erase an ex who still dominates their thoughts. The chorus repeats that they “tomo pa' olvidarte” (drink to forget), yet memories keep flooding back—her absence turns nights cold, the moon refuses to rise, and loneliness “wins the fight.”
Behind the smooth beat lies a confession of vulnerability. The narrator owns his “cien mil defectos”, accepts he wasn’t the best partner, but can’t bear imagining another man kissing her. Vivid images—red eyes from tears, a hand drawn by alcohol that feels like hers, a breakup that was never in the “script”—create a cinematic portrait of nostalgia and regret. In the end, the song isn’t really about the liquor; it’s about how love’s aftertaste lingers long after the last glass is empty.
