PELEAS

In 'PELEAS,' Becky G delves into the tumultuous and often painful dynamics of a romantic relationship fraught with conflict and betrayal. The song opens with a recounting of past relationships that ended abruptly due to infidelity and betrayal, setting the stage for the central theme of the song: the struggle to maintain a relationship despite ongoing issues. Becky G's mother’s advice to not cry over men is a poignant reminder of the societal expectations placed on women to be strong and resilient, even in the face of emotional turmoil.

The chorus of the song, with its repetitive emphasis on 'peleas' (fights), underscores the cyclical nature of the conflicts in the relationship. Despite the pain and the evidence of infidelity—such as finding condoms and high heels that don't belong to her—Becky G's character chooses to stay and fight for the relationship. This decision highlights the complexity of love, where emotional attachment and the fear of losing a loved one can sometimes outweigh the rational decision to leave a toxic situation.

Becky G's raw and honest lyrics reflect a deep emotional struggle. The repeated line 'Contigo duele, pero me aguanto' (With you it hurts, but I endure) encapsulates the essence of the song. It speaks to the endurance and resilience required to stay in a relationship that causes pain, driven by a love that is hard to let go of. The song's narrative is a powerful commentary on the sacrifices people make for love and the internal battles they face when dealing with betrayal and disappointment.
