Cosas de La Peda (feat. Gabito Ballesteros)

In 'Cosas de La Peda,' Prince Royce, a contemporary Latin music artist known for his romantic bachata tunes, explores the theme of heartache and the use of alcohol as a coping mechanism. The song features a conversation between two ex-lovers who are struggling to move on from their past relationship. The lyrics reveal a candid confession of the pain that lingers after a breakup and the attempt to numb that pain with alcohol.

The song begins with Royce recounting how his ex-partner reaches out to him after a period of silence, sparking old emotions. He admits that he could pretend to have moved on and be enjoying life with someone new, but he chooses honesty over deceit. The chorus is a poignant acknowledgment of his longing for the past relationship, confessing that drinking helps lessen the emotional pain. The alcohol serves as a temporary escape, allowing him to feign happiness and avoid the reality of his heartbreak.

The second verse introduces Gabito Ballesteros, who adds another layer to the narrative. He sings from the perspective of the ex-partner, revealing that she too masks her feelings with partying and alcohol. The exchange of verses between Royce and Ballesteros illustrates the mutual pain and the shared reliance on substances to cope with their loss. The song ends with a plea to God, hoping that they won't reconnect, as they both know that their vulnerability might lead them back into each other's arms. 'Cosas de La Peda' is a raw and honest portrayal of the struggle to overcome the remnants of a past love, and the unhealthy ways people sometimes deal with emotional turmoil.
