Como Lo Hacía Yo

“Como Lo Hacía Yo” by R.K.M & Ken-Y, featuring Nicky Jam, delves into the emotional turmoil of a past relationship that continues to haunt both parties. The song is a poignant exploration of lingering feelings and the difficulty of moving on. The lyrics are a dialogue between the artists and their former lover, questioning whether the new partner can ever measure up to the love and passion they once shared. The repeated questioning, “Dime si cuando despiertas en su cama, piensas en mi, es mi nombre al que llamas,” highlights the desperation and longing that still exists.

The song uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the depth of the emotional connection that once existed. Lines like “Entre mis sábanas te descubrí mujer” and “Que soy el hombre que hace, que vueles sin alas, que inhales y exhales” paint a picture of an intense and transformative love. The artists are not just reminiscing about physical intimacy but also about the emotional and spiritual bond that made their relationship unique. This connection is something they believe cannot be replicated by the new partner, emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of their past love.

Culturally, the song taps into the universal theme of unrequited love and the struggle to let go of someone who has moved on. The collaboration between R.K.M & Ken-Y and Nicky Jam adds layers of vocal harmony and emotional depth, making the song resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of a breakup. The reggaeton rhythm provides a contrasting upbeat tempo to the melancholic lyrics, creating a dynamic that mirrors the conflict between moving on and holding on to the past. This song is a testament to the enduring power of love and the scars it leaves behind.
