Los Tragos (feat. Maria Becerra)

Reik's song 'Los Tragos,' featuring Maria Becerra, delves into the emotional turmoil of trying to move on from a past relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the struggle to forget a former lover, despite the best efforts to erase their presence. The song begins with the protagonist acknowledging the toxic nature of the relationship and the decision to cut ties. However, the pain of separation is palpable as they turn to alcohol and old music in an attempt to cope with the lingering feelings.

The chorus reveals the futility of these efforts, as the protagonist admits that drinking only brings back memories of their ex. The repeated line, 'Anoche con los trago' me pasé, me pasé,' underscores the cyclical nature of their pain, where each attempt to forget only deepens their longing. The collaboration with Maria Becerra adds another layer to the narrative, as she echoes the same sentiments of being unable to move on, despite trying various methods to distract herself.

The song also touches on the jealousy and heartache that come with seeing an ex with someone new. The protagonist's mind is tormented by the thought of their former lover being intimate with another person, which only exacerbates their emotional distress. The imagery of drowning in a glass of ice and the references to popular culture, like 'Billy sin Mandy,' highlight the depth of their despair. 'Los Tragos' is a poignant exploration of the difficulty of letting go and the ways in which people try, and often fail, to mend a broken heart.
