Prometí (feat. Chili Fernandez, Candu Domínguez y Zhae)

Fer Vazquez's song 'Prometí,' featuring Chili Fernandez, Candu Domínguez, and Zhae, delves into the emotional aftermath of a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that was intense yet damaging, with the best moments ironically being the reconciliations after fights. The phrase 'éramos tóxicos, mi amor, pero qué bien lo hacíamos' encapsulates the paradox of a relationship that was both harmful and deeply passionate. This duality is a common theme in many love stories, where the intensity of emotions can lead to both ecstasy and pain.

The chorus reveals a series of promises made by the protagonist to protect themselves from future heartbreak. The repeated vow 'prometí que no iba a enamorarme nunca más' signifies a deep-seated fear of vulnerability and a desire to avoid the pain of love. This sentiment is further emphasized by the line 'si el amor toca mi puerta, díganle que no estoy,' which suggests a deliberate avoidance of new romantic entanglements. The protagonist's decision to stay 'borracho por ahí' (drunk somewhere) can be interpreted as a coping mechanism to numb the emotional pain.

The song also touches on the theme of unfulfilled promises and the transient nature of love. The line 'el para siempre siempre se termina' reflects a cynical view of love's permanence, highlighting the protagonist's disillusionment. The mention of dancing cumbia as a way to 'más rápido pasa el dolor' (make the pain pass faster) adds a cultural layer to the narrative, suggesting that music and dance are used as forms of escapism. Overall, 'Prometí' is a poignant exploration of love, heartbreak, and the coping mechanisms people use to deal with emotional trauma.
