Como Lo Hacia Yo (feat. Ken-Y)
Nicky Jam
The Echoes of Lost Love in 'Como Lo Hacia Yo'
The song 'Como Lo Hacia Yo' by Nicky Jam featuring Ken-Y is a poignant narrative of longing and unrequited love. The lyrics express the deep emotions of someone who cannot accept that their relationship has ended. The protagonist questions whether their former lover truly has moved on, as they suspect that the love they shared cannot be easily forgotten or replaced.
Throughout the song, the protagonist is in a state of denial and hope, believing that their ex-partner still yearns for the connection they once had. They are convinced that the new person in their ex's life cannot love them in the same way, and they are almost pleading for acknowledgment of this fact. The repeated questioning in the lyrics suggests a deep insecurity and a need for validation that their love was special and irreplaceable.
The song's emotional weight is carried by the refrain 'Como lo hacia yo,' which translates to 'like I did.' This phrase encapsulates the essence of the song - the comparison between the past and present relationships and the belief that the former was superior. The protagonist's pain is evident as they grapple with the loss of intimacy and the memories of being together. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the heartache of seeing a past love move on, while still holding onto the hope that they remain unforgettable to the one they lost.
