Grande (part. Gloria Trevi)

“Grande” by Monica Naranjo, featuring Gloria Trevi, is a powerful anthem of empowerment and resilience. The song narrates a journey from vulnerability and suffering to strength and self-assertion. In the first verse, the lyrics describe a past filled with pain and abuse, where the protagonist was taken advantage of due to their youth and inexperience. The repeated thought, “Algún día creceré” (Someday I will grow), signifies a promise to oneself to overcome and rise above the adversities faced.

The pre-chorus and chorus mark a significant transformation. The imagery of rising from ashes and broken pieces symbolizes rebirth and the reclaiming of power. The protagonists declare their newfound strength, describing themselves as “grande” (big), “rica” (rich), “dura” (tough), and “poderosa” (powerful). This transformation is not just physical but also emotional and spiritual, as they now see themselves as queens and goddesses, fully aware of their worth and unbothered by their past abusers.

In the second verse, the lyrics delve deeper into the personal struggle and the journey towards self-discovery and empowerment. The bridge further emphasizes the newfound power, comparing the protagonist to a roaring lion and a fearless warrior. The message is clear: the past abuser is now insignificant, and the protagonist has moved on, standing tall and unshaken. The repeated phrase “Yo ya te olvidé” (I have already forgotten you) serves as a final declaration of liberation and self-empowerment.

“Grande” is a celebration of overcoming adversity and embracing one’s strength and potential. It resonates with anyone who has faced challenges and emerged stronger, serving as a reminder that growth and empowerment are possible, no matter the circumstances.
