Issues (Operación Triunfo 2017)

Aitana's rendition of 'Issues' from Operación Triunfo 2017 is a raw and honest exploration of a relationship where both partners acknowledge their flaws and imperfections. The song opens with Aitana admitting to her emotional extremes, from jealousy to intense highs and lows. This sets the stage for a narrative where vulnerability and honesty are at the forefront. The lyrics, 'I could love you just like that / And I can leave you just as fast,' highlight the volatile nature of her emotions, yet there's an underlying commitment to the relationship.

The chorus, 'Cause I got issues, but you got 'em too / So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you,' serves as the heart of the song. It emphasizes a mutual understanding and acceptance of each other's flaws. This exchange of issues is not seen as a burden but rather as a testament to the strength of their love. The line 'Bask in the glory, of all our problems / 'Cause we got the kind of love it takes to solve 'em' suggests that their love is resilient enough to face and overcome any challenges.

The lyrics, 'You do shit on purpose / You get mad and you break things / Feel bad, try to fix things,' depict a realistic portrayal of conflicts in a relationship. Yet, the recurring theme of not judging each other, 'Cause you don't judge me / 'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too,' reinforces the idea of unconditional acceptance. This song is a celebration of imperfect love, where both partners are willing to work through their issues together, making their bond even stronger.
