Verse 1

With you, the beach days make me hotter

Mi Ex Tenía Razón is Karol G's answer to her ex-boyfriend Anuel AA and his song Meyor Que Yo

Because of you I forgot about the past and don't hold grudges

With Mi Ex Tenía Razón, her answer is straightforward: you were right; I didn't find someone like you; I found someone better.

Baby, in bed you healed everything that was hurting me

You made me beat where I didn't beat anymore

Or: You made (my heart) beat where itt was no longer beating

I believe you when you say 'My love'

Or: I do believe you when you tell me 'my love'

Chorus 1

My ex was right

He said that I wouldn't find someone like him

And I found someone better

That treats me better

My ex was right

When he said that nobody will do it like him

Or: When he said that no one will do it to me like him

Why do I tell him no?

If he does it better

Verse 2

I like everything by your side

Or: I like everything next to you

In line, they don't treat me like in Fendi

And I'm a badass, but they had me empty

In a Twitter post, Karol G stated (translated): 'The makinon is not the car... the MAKINON is the bad bitch that drives it'

I felt ugly like Betty and now I'm pretty

In the club, downing a bottle of Moet

Straight to the bed to do it like it is

Or: Straight to bed so that they do it to me as it is

I really don't know why the f*ck I cried

If now I realize that I'm the one who crowned myself

Karol G uses the word 'coroné' (crowned), which directly references Feid's (current boyfriend) 2021 famous song.

With you, my love

My bed is better off

I don't miss the life that I had anymore

Or: I no longer miss the life that I was having

When I think about what he said

Chorus 2

My ex was right

He said that I wouldn't find someone like him

And I found someone better

That treats me better

My ex was right

When he said that nobody will do it like him

Why do I tell him no?

If he does it better

Chorus 3

My ex was right

When he said that nobody will do it like him

Why do I tell him no?

If he does it better

coroné — I won / I was crowned

Coroné is the past tense of the verb coronar, which literally means "to crown". It's a word you'd use for a king or queen receiving their crown.

However, in Latin music and modern slang, coronar often means "to succeed," "to win," or "to come out on top." In the song, KAROL G sings "fui yo la que coroné" (I was the one who won), expressing that she is the true winner after finding a new love who is much better than her ex. It's a powerful and triumphant word that captures the song's core message of empowerment.

Colombian superstar KAROL G pulls off a hilarious, brilliant plot twist in "MI EX TENÍA RAZÓN". The title translates to "My ex was right", but it is definitely not an apology. She admits her former partner told her "que no iba a encontrar uno como él" (that I wasn't going to find someone like him). Her punchline? He was totally right because she found someone way better! She compares her glow-up to a famous Colombian telenovela character, singing "Me sentía fea como Betty y ahora soy pretty" (I felt ugly like Betty and now I am pretty), a nod to Yo soy Betty, la fea. She calls herself a "maquinón" (a powerful machine or stunning woman) who used to run on empty, but now she is treated with luxury customer care, like walking straight into Fendi.

The track is full of playful, blunt lines about moving on physically and emotionally. She shrugs off past tears with "fui yo la que coroné" (I was the one who won / hit the jackpot), popping bottles of Moët and enjoying someone who finally heals her hurt in bed ("en la cama me curaste to' lo que me dolía"). It is a warm, sunny victory lap about leaving a bad relationship in the dust and enjoying an upgrade who actually treats you right.
