La Única

Kali Uchis' song 'La Única' is a powerful anthem of self-worth and individuality. The lyrics convey a message of confidence and self-assurance, as the artist asserts her uniqueness and independence. The repeated phrase 'Única y no era' mi only one' emphasizes that she is one of a kind and does not need validation from others. This sentiment is further reinforced by the line 'Siete mil millones de personas en este mundo y nadie como yo,' which highlights her belief in her own distinctiveness among billions of people.

The song also addresses themes of judgment and societal expectations. Uchis mentions being called 'vulgar' and responds with 'Solo Dios me puede juzgar,' indicating that she does not care about others' opinions and only God can judge her. This defiance against societal norms and expectations is a recurring theme in her music, reflecting her rebellious and unapologetic nature. The line 'Educación es todo y su elegancia' suggests that true elegance comes from education and self-awareness, rather than conforming to superficial standards.

Culturally, 'La Única' resonates with many listeners who have felt marginalized or judged for being different. Uchis' use of both Spanish and English in the lyrics reflects her bicultural identity and connects with a diverse audience. The song's upbeat rhythm and catchy chorus make it an empowering anthem for anyone who has ever felt the need to assert their individuality and self-worth. Through 'La Única,' Kali Uchis encourages listeners to embrace their uniqueness and not let anyone diminish their value.
