Por Perro (part. Luis Figueroa y Lary Over)

Sebastián Yatra's song 'Por Perro' delves into the emotional turmoil following a breakup, where the protagonist is struggling with the consequences of his actions that led to the end of a relationship. The phrase 'por perro' is a colloquial expression in Spanish that implies the person acknowledges their own fault or wrongdoing, akin to admitting that they 'had it coming' or 'deserved it.' The lyrics express deep regret and the pain of knowing that his actions are the reason his former partner is now with someone else.

The song portrays the protagonist's attempts to cope with the loss, which include trying to distract himself with social activities and drinking. However, these efforts are in vain as the weekends become a reminder of his loneliness, and alcohol only serves to lower his defenses, revealing his true feelings of missing his ex-partner. The recurring theme of drinking to forget, only to remember even more, is a poignant reflection of the struggle to move on from a past love.

The collaboration with artists Luis Figueroa and Lary Over adds layers to the narrative, with each voice contributing to the story of heartbreak and longing. The song's blend of Latin rhythms and heartfelt lyrics resonates with anyone who has experienced the self-inflicted pain of a lost love. The inclusion of English lyrics at the end of the song emphasizes the universal nature of the emotions being expressed, bridging language barriers with the shared experience of love and loss.
