A Heartfelt Plea for Reassurance and Remembrance
In 'Necesito Un Favor,' Matisse (MX) delves into the raw emotions of a breakup, capturing the pain and vulnerability that come with the end of a significant relationship. The song opens with a direct confrontation, where the protagonist is told that their partner is no longer happy and that this will be their last encounter.

The chorus, 'Necesito un favor, antes de que te vayas, déjame por escrito que voy a estar bien mañana,' reveals the protagonist's plea for reassurance.
