TBT (part. Rauw Alejandro y Manuel Turizo)

Sebastián Yatra's song 'TBT', featuring Rauw Alejandro and Manuel Turizo, delves into the complex emotions of longing and unrequited love. The title 'TBT' refers to the popular social media acronym for 'Throwback Thursday', which is used when sharing nostalgic content. In the context of the song, it symbolizes the desire to return to a past relationship that is only a memory now.

The lyrics express the protagonist's feelings towards someone who is currently with another person, someone they cannot truly love. The repeated lines 'Estás con alguien que no puedes amar' and 'Pensando en mí cuando lo vas a besar' suggest that the protagonist believes the object of their affection is still emotionally attached to them, even while being with someone else. The song captures the protagonist's internal struggle, as they oscillate between wanting the other person to stay and telling them to leave, highlighting the confusion and pain of loving someone who is unavailable.

The song's narrative is further enriched by the use of modern communication references, such as 'copia oculta Bcc' and 'Una carta en ATT', which emphasize the hidden and unspoken feelings between the two individuals. The protagonist's plea for the other person to 'Atrévete, vete' (Dare, go) and 'Conviértelo en un TBT' (Turn it into a TBT) is a call to leave the current unsatisfactory relationship and revisit the past they shared, hoping to rekindle what was once there.
