In the middle of the start of her new tour, Karol G surprised the Washington D.C. audience. performing an emotional, unreleased ballad live for the first time. The performance, which in a matter of hours went viral on social networks, offers an intimate look at the artistic proposal that will make up their next album.
The song is part of the repertoire of “No me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto”, his long-awaited studio album that will be released on August 7. With this project, the Paisa artist formally begins her tour “Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour”, which began its journey through various cities in the United States.
During her presentation in the American capital, the performer decided to take a break from the festive and urban rhythms to give way to a moment of deep nostalgia. The lyrics of the ballad address the complexity of dealing with a sentimental breakup and the facade that is usually built in front of the digital and social environment.
Among the lines that most impacted the audience were: “I don't know who I'm lying to, uploading stories like I'm in my prime / but everyone who knows me well knows that I'm pretending / on the outside smiling, on the inside dying.”
The singer's followers were quick to speculate that the song could be dedicated to her ex-partner, the urban artist Feid.
The poetic charge about appearing to have overcome a failed relationship—with verses like “if you see him, tell him that I'm fine, that I've never been better, that I'm over it even though he knows I'm not... please lie to him”—resonated with the audience.
This emotional song joins the recent releases with which the Colombian has prepared the ground for her new era.
Prior to the start of the tour, he released the single “Matadora”, and weeks ago he had performed the song “After you” with Greg González at the Coachella festival.
