Se Quema (part. j mena)

Miss Bolivia's song "Se Quema (feat. j mena)" is a powerful anthem of female empowerment and rebellion against societal expectations. The lyrics express a strong rejection of the traditional roles and behaviors imposed on women. The opening lines, "Ya me cansé de que te metas / Ya me cansé de que me digas que esté quieta," set the tone for the song, highlighting the frustration with being told to be docile, quiet, and discreet. This sentiment is further emphasized with the line, "De que te asuste cuando mostramos las tetas," pointing out the double standards and discomfort society has with women's bodies and their expression.

The song takes a bold turn with the declaration, "Porque hoy no traje bragas, traje la escopeta," symbolizing a shift from compliance to defiance. The imagery of bringing a shotgun instead of underwear signifies readiness to fight back against oppression. The chorus, "Se quema, se quema / Y ya no lo van a poder apagar," reinforces the idea of an unstoppable force, a fire that cannot be extinguished, representing the collective power and voice of women who refuse to be silenced.

Miss Bolivia and j mena use vivid metaphors and cultural references to convey their message. The mention of "Cenicienta" (Cinderella) and the rejection of fitting into someone else's shoes symbolize the refusal to conform to fairy-tale expectations. The song also celebrates the strength and resilience of women, likening them to witches who were never burned, a nod to historical persecution and the enduring spirit of resistance. The collaboration with j mena adds an extra layer of solidarity and unity, making "Se Quema" not just a song, but a rallying cry for women everywhere to embrace their power and fight against societal constraints.
