Music and lyrics
Musically it is a Mexican northern cumbia song, with arrangements of sierreña and grupera music, lyrically it is about heartbreak, and a person's questioning of their partner as to why they have broken their heart. The lyrics includes, "¿Por qué no tengo un corazón así? / Así como el que te dieron a ti / Porque el que me tocó a mí es frágil / Por eso lo rompiste fácil / Y yo queriendo un corazón así / Así como el que te dieron a ti / Porque el que me tocó a mí es frágil / Por eso lo rompiste fácil".
Music video
An official video was published on Yahritza y su Esencia's YouTube channel hours before the song's premiere on digital platforms.
