I thought that I had discovered something new in you, I was wrong

We locked eyes and, even so, I couldn't find you

Two hearts that can't be seen

Keep yesterday's secrets, and I want to understand

How did our love fall?

This is a mystery to me

And we let it go, already owning an empire

Tell me, who was the man that had the luck

To have you every day?

I don't know what made you think that this wasn't serious for me

And the pain of love isn't the same as a breakup

I'm messed up out there, I don't know how you hide it

About what you feel, you only lie to yourself

It's not the same him touching you as me turning you on

And since you aren't here, another one came to get tangled up

With the N-O-T-A, she's not in my bed

Just playing at sex, nothing sentimental

There's war in my room, this just blew up

Alright brother

Love isn't always what it seems

Sometimes you have to live it

And sometimes you have to suffer it

How did our love fall?

This is a mystery to me

And we let it go, already owning an empire

Tell me, who was the man that had the luck

To have you every day?

I don't know what made you think that this wasn't serious for me

How did our love fall?

This is a mystery to me

And we let it go, already owning an empire

Tell me, who was the man that had the luck

To have you every day?

I don't know what made you think that this wasn't serious for me

We have to see what happened, what was missing?

When did it end? And who was the one that failed?

Love is like that

I didn't invent it

After having an empire

It died, it's a mystery

We have to guess who failed in their judgment

There's no middle ground, the blame is on both

How did love fall?

It got confused, it got complicated, and it ended

Tell me how it fell

First an empire, and in the end it turned into hell

How did love fall?

Meaningless phrases, empty looks

Tell me how it fell

And the song already said it, love ends

Walk it

Look again

How did our love fall?

This is a mystery to me

And we let it go, already owning an empire

Tell me, who was the man that had the luck

To have you every day?

I don't know what made you think that this wasn't serious for me

Balvin, watch out for love

The voice of experience is talking to you

A gentleman's word

How did love fall?

Tell me how it fell

How did love fall?

Tell me how it fell

SONG MEANING

Misterio pairs Colombian superstar J Balvin with Puerto Rican salsa icon Gilberto Santa Rosa in a heartfelt detective story about a love that suddenly collapsed. The singers look back at a relationship that once felt like an unbeatable imperio and now lies in ruins, full of unanswered questions. Lines like “¿Cómo se nos cayó el amor?” and “Esto pa’ mí es un misterio” reveal their disbelief: they thought they had discovered something new and everlasting, yet somehow lost it without noticing when or why. Balvin voices raw pain and jealousy, wondering who now enjoys the daily closeness he once had, while Santa Rosa steps in as the wise friend, reminding him that love can lift you up or make you suffer.

Beyond the regret, the song explores shared responsibility. Both artists admit there is “no middle ground” and that both partners failed, turning an empire into an inferno. The blend of modern reggaeton beats with classic salsa brass underscores this clash of perspectives – youthful passion meets seasoned experience. In the end, Misterio is a rhythmic lesson about how fragile even the strongest-looking romance can be, and how important it is to recognize problems before the empire crumbles.
