Hasta El Cielo (feat. Rosalía)

In 'Hasta El Cielo,' Bad Gyal and Rosalía craft a narrative of empowerment and liberation from a toxic relationship. The song's lyrics depict a journey from emotional investment to disillusionment and eventual freedom. The repeated line 'Que yo te llevé hasta el cielo' (I took you to heaven) suggests that the protagonist gave her all in the relationship, elevating her partner to a place of emotional and perhaps even material fulfillment. However, this effort is met with betrayal and harm, as indicated by 'Ya ahora tú me prendes fuego' (Now you set me on fire), symbolizing the pain and destruction caused by the partner's actions.

The song delves deeper into the protagonist's realization of her worth and decision to leave the toxic environment. Lines like 'Niño, que yo estoy mejor sola' (Boy, I'm better off alone) and 'A quien me hace daño no le canto ni la hora' (I don't even tell the time to those who hurt me) highlight her newfound independence and refusal to tolerate mistreatment. The imagery of dancing and partying, 'Toda la noche a raya' (All night long) and 'Nos vestimos de Versache y a la disco a bailar' (We dress in Versace and go to the club to dance), further emphasizes her reclaiming of joy and self-expression.

Cultural references to luxury brands like Versace and the inclusion of 'gramos de la Mary' (grams of Mary Jane) add layers of contemporary urban culture to the song, reflecting the artists' backgrounds and the environments they navigate. The collaboration with Rosalía, known for her flamenco-inspired pop, adds a unique blend of traditional and modern influences, enriching the song's texture and appeal. Ultimately, 'Hasta El Cielo' is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment, resilience, and the celebration of personal freedom.
