Review

The lyrics express frustration in a one-sided relationship where the narrator feels neglected and emotionally sidelined. It captures the imbalance of a partnership where one person constantly talks about themselves without reciprocating care or attention, highlighting the gradual erosion of affection over time.

The song blends Miranda's raw, conversational flow with Nicki Nicole's sharper delivery, creating a tense yet catchy dynamic. Set against a moody reggaeton beat, the artists paint scenes of late-night arguments and emotional exhaustion, using direct accusations ("You only talk about yourself") to make the neglect feel immediate and personal.

While there's no explicit language, the song deals with mature themes of emotional neglect and relationship dissatisfaction. The tone is more confrontational than sad, channeling frustration rather than heartbreak.
