Review

The lyrics are about a heartbroken woman. She sings about how she has no remorse with the guy that left her, and how much she still loves him. She even describes herself as a "cat under the rain".

This is a classic in Latin music. It is a pretty old song, yet it's still pretty well-known. It makes me feel sad, but the message and the emotion are powerful.

It mentions something about making love, but I wouldn't call that explicit.

The video features the singer performing on stage. She has an orchestra behind her and she just sings her heart out.
