Ever wondered what happens when heartbreak meets a bottle of tequila and a devil-may-care attitude toward love? “Prefiero Empedarme” is Fuerza Regida’s raw confession of a man who has grown weary of pretending he is still in love. Tired of spinning lies, he owns up to his emotional baggage, blames his darker traits on “herencia,” and decides that drowning his sorrows in liquor and fleeting company is easier than facing a relationship he no longer wants.
Rather than begging an ex to return, the narrator chooses to watch her sadness from afar, numbing his own with wine and “damas pasajeras”—temporary romances that keep real feelings at bay. It is a bittersweet anthem that mixes swagger with vulnerability: beneath the bravado of endless drinks and casual flings lies a man who recognizes his flaws yet feels destined to repeat them. Listeners are left with a vivid portrait of modern machismo grappling with regret, set to the gritty corridos-tumbados sound that has made Fuerza Regida a cross-border sensation.
