Review

This song is about a man loving his family. He sings about his wife, describing their relationship as electricity or fire. In the chorus, he expresses that her voice is something he loves because it brings them to balance somehow.

It is a fast-paced song. It makes me feel good.

No explicit themes.

In the video, we see Alex Ubago on tour, performing on a stage and in a studio. Some scenes are black and white, and others are in color.

Spanish learners can take advantage of this song and learn reflexives, direct object, possessives, and many valuable prepositions like HACIA, A, DEL, EN, and many others.
