UN SHOT (part. Gabito Ballesteros)

The song "UN SHOT" by Wisin, featuring Gabito Ballesteros, is a vibrant blend of Latin rhythms and a narrative of heartbreak and subsequent empowerment. The lyrics tell the story of someone who is trying to move on from a painful breakup. The protagonist is haunted by the presence of their ex-partner in social settings and is struggling with the emotional aftermath of the relationship. The repeated encounters with the ex-partner are causing frustration and a desire to forget, which is metaphorically described as causing a heart 'infarct' or heartbreak.

The song's chorus, with its repetition of 'Un shot, dos shot, tres shot,' symbolizes the attempt to numb the pain with alcohol, specifically tequila, which is culturally associated with Mexico, as hinted at the beginning of the song. The act of drinking is both a literal and figurative attempt to embrace calmness and forget the past relationship. The mention of 'miles de morritas por DM' and 'babies extranjeras en mi cama' suggests the protagonist is trying to distract themselves with new romantic interests, but these are fleeting and do not hold significant emotional value.

Ultimately, the song is about finding the strength to say goodbye to a toxic relationship and the lies that came with it. The protagonist is determined not to lower their standards or beg for the relationship, instead choosing to wish the ex-partner away. The song ends on a note of resolution, with the protagonist vowing not to suffer or be played with anymore, signaling a newfound self-respect and the courage to move forward without looking back.
