Pipe Bueno and Maluma serve up a spicy breakup corrido where pride, relief and a little schadenfreude dance over an accordion beat. The narrator thanks heaven that the romance is over, reminding his ex of their nonstop arguments and bragging that he is finally “tranquilo”. Meanwhile, he paints a vivid picture of her spiraling nights: chain-smoking at the window, drowning regret in tequila, showing up to parties drunk and lost in vices.
The song flips the usual heartbreak story. Instead of begging for a second chance, the singers flaunt their freedom and call out the ex for wasting what they once had. They recall star-studded skies, champagne and passion “que no era solo sexo” to underscore how unforgettable the bond was, then twist the knife by claiming she will never truly forget them. In short, Tequila is a confident goodbye anthem that mixes Norteño swagger with urban slang, teaching listeners new ways to say, “I’m over you, enjoy your hangover.”
