Pensamos (part. Mon Laferte)

Nicki Nicole's song "Pensamos," featuring Mon Laferte, delves into the emotional turmoil of reflecting on a past relationship that didn't turn out as hoped. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of regret, longing, and the weight of missed opportunities. The recurring theme of thinking about the past and the inability to change it is evident from the very beginning, as the singer reminisces about the relationship and the mistakes made along the way. The line "Porque no se puede volver atrá'" (Because you can't go back) encapsulates the central sentiment of the song: the irreversible nature of time and actions.

The song also touches on the feelings of guilt and self-blame that often accompany the end of a meaningful relationship. The singer expresses a deep sense of remorse for the pain caused, as seen in the lines "Me siento culpable y a la vez no" (I feel guilty and at the same time I don't) and "Por todos los male' que causé yo" (For all the harm I caused). This duality of emotions—feeling both responsible and helpless—adds a layer of complexity to the narrative, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced the end of a significant relationship.

Moreover, the collaboration with Mon Laferte adds a rich, emotional depth to the song. Both artists are known for their expressive vocal styles and ability to convey deep emotions through their music. The song's structure, with its repetitive questioning of "Y si las cosa' no salieron como pensamos" (And if things didn't turn out as we thought), emphasizes the uncertainty and introspection that come with reflecting on past relationships. The song ultimately serves as a cathartic expression of the pain and confusion that accompany lost love, making it a powerful piece for anyone grappling with similar feelings.
