LOS 40 Interview

As he said, this new song is an ode to love a ballad that demonstrates his versatility as an artist, and also as a piece of his most vulnerable side, referring to the relationship between John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who were always together no matter what.  

This song is a result of the great admiration that the Puerto Rican has for The Beatles. It’s also partly inspired by the relationship between his grandparents, who have been together all their lives. 

«Su relación siempre me ha llamado la atención, me parecía algo muy cool y fácil. Quiero que sea el tipo de canción bonita que le dedicas a una persona que deseas que sea eterna” Álvaro said.
