Verse 1

Let her go, she's not for you

Even if you lose this war, let her go

Look in the mirror and tell me, are you happy?

You have to wake up

You have to accept the truth

Don't cover your eyes, don't want to escape

Don't call her again when you supposedly wanted to change

Chorus 1

I promised myself that I was never going to talk about you again

That I was going to forget you

I promised myself that this time

This time I was supposedly going to change

Verse 2

It burns so much to hear your voice

It was sweet until it lied

I'd like to be more aware

To fulfill what it's not to love you

I have to go, I have to go

To leave once time

And this time for real

No longer look back

To leave once time

And never again turn back

Now I need to heal

Chorus 2

I promised myself that I was never going to talk about you again

That I was going to forget you

I promised myself that this time

This time I was supposedly going to change

Let her go, she's not for you

SONG MEANING

"Me Prometí" paints a raw conversation in the mirror, where Ivan Cornejo urges himself (and anyone listening) to finally drop that one person who keeps hurting them. Over wistful guitars, he repeats a tough love mantra: “Suéltala, no es pa' ti”—let her go, she is not for you. The song walks us through denial, relapse, and the clarity that comes when you really look at your reflection and admit, “I’m not happy.”

In a swirl of regional Mexican melodies, the singer stacks promise upon promise—“Me prometí que nunca iba a hablar más de ti”—only to feel the sting each time he breaks it. By the end, the battle turns into resolve: he must leave, stop looking back, and begin to heal. It is a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has ever tried to outgrow a love that simply will not fit, reminding us that self-respect sometimes starts with the hardest goodbye.
