Tiempo Pa Olvidar (part. Becky G)

Abraham Mateo's song "Tiempo Pa Olvidar," featuring Becky G, delves into the emotional turmoil and healing process following a painful breakup. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of infidelity and the subsequent need to move on. The opening lines, "Me hiciste infeliz / Soy un hombre que perdona lo que sea, menos un desliz," set the tone for the song, highlighting the deep sense of betrayal and the difficulty of forgiving a significant other's indiscretion. The metaphor of Paris without the Eiffel Tower underscores the idea that some things, once altered, can never be the same again.

The chorus, "Tiempo pa' olvidar / Copas pa' beber / Y algo pa' este mal / Porque me voy a enloquecer," emphasizes the need for time, alcohol, and distractions to cope with the pain. This refrain is a candid admission of the struggle to forget and the lengths one might go to in order to numb the heartache. Becky G's verse adds another layer to the narrative, expressing a similar sentiment of needing time to heal and the belief that time will eventually cure all wounds. Her lines, "Primero yo, segundo yo, tercero yo / La prioridad de ahora en adelante: Yo," reflect a shift towards self-prioritization and self-care, a crucial step in the healing process.

The song also touches on the lingering memories and the difficulty of letting go, as seen in the lines, "Se te olvidó recoger todos los besos que dejaste aquí / Decía la gente realmente que no eras pa' mí." Despite the pain, there is a sense of resilience and determination to overcome the heartbreak. The collaboration between Abraham Mateo and Becky G brings a dynamic interplay of perspectives, making the song relatable to anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup and the journey towards self-recovery.
