This story is based on real life

On Tuesday, like never before, happier and in love

On Wednesday we talked about the ring and the wedding

Then I introduced you to my friends and you loved them

On Thursday everything was fine, on Friday everything got worse

Out of nowhere you left and told me 'It's not you, it's me'

I swear I forgive you because God always forgives, but no

I don't understand how one day everything is fine and the next day it's not

And crying more for you is not worth it

If I drown, let it be in alcohol and not in tears

Life goes on and nothing is that serious

I light a palo santo for your bad vibes

And proudly dance and sing it to you

And please

Don't look for me anymore

Yes, I cried to my psychologist

I changed witches and astrologers

To heal this heart

Besides, you tell me 'You're crazy'

And what comes out of your mouth

Yes, it hurts, oh, where did the love go?

Out of nowhere you left and told me 'It's not you, it's me'

I swear I forgive you because God always forgives, but no

I don't understand how one day everything is fine and the next day it's not

And crying more for you is not worth it

If I drown, let it be in alcohol and not in tears

Life goes on and nothing is that serious

I light a palo santo for your bad vibes

And proudly dance and sing it to you

The good thing is that this is over now

SONG MEANING

“Palo Santo” is a cheeky breakup diary that unfolds day by day. On Tuesday the singer is blissfully in love, by Wednesday they are dreaming about rings, and by Friday the castle crumbles. Her ex disappears with the classic “It’s not you, it’s me,” leaving her dazed at how fast love can flip. The detailed weekday timeline makes the story feel like a rom-com montage that suddenly hits the pause button.

Instead of drowning in tears, Sofía Reyes lights a stick of palo santo as a symbol of cleansing away bad vibes. She forgives, books a session with her therapist, swaps out her witch and astrologer, and decides that if she is going to drown in anything, it will be tequila, not sorrow. The song celebrates self-worth, Latin pop swagger, and the power of dancing your heartbreak into thin air. By the final chorus she is not only over the relationship, she is proudly singing and dancing on its ashes—smelling fresh palo santo smoke and freedom.
