Empowerment and Moving On: KAROL G's 'MI EX TENÍA RAZÓN'
KAROL G's 'MI EX TENÍA RAZÓN' is a vibrant anthem of self-empowerment and the joy of finding someone who surpasses the expectations set by past relationships. The Colombian singer-songwriter, known for her blend of reggaeton and Latin pop, delivers a message that resonates with anyone who has experienced the end of a relationship and the beginning of something new and better. The song's title, which translates to 'My Ex Was Right,' sets the stage for a twist on the common fear of not finding someone as good as a former partner.
The lyrics speak to the transformation that the protagonist undergoes after meeting a new love interest. KAROL G sings about forgetting the past and healing from previous hurts, suggesting that her new partner has rekindled feelings she thought were gone. The repeated lines 'Mi ex tenía razón' followed by the revelation 'Y me llegó uno mejor' ('And a better one came along') play with the idea that her ex's warning was technically correct, but not in the way he intended. Instead of being a downgrade, her new relationship is an upgrade in every sense.
The song also touches on themes of self-worth and confidence. References to feeling 'empty' and 'ugly like Betty' contrast with her newfound sense of being 'pretty' and fulfilled. The celebratory tone is amplified by the mention of luxury brands and partying, symbolizing a life of enjoyment and self-indulgence that her previous relationship lacked. KAROL G's 'MI EX TENÍA RAZÓN' is not just about finding someone new; it's about finding oneself and reveling in the glow of a love that makes everything better.
