Belinda has made a strong comeback to music after a 10-year break from releasing albums, surprising everyone with ‘Cactus’. The song quickly gained attention because it touched on her past relationship with Christian Nodal. What made this even more significant is that Belinda usually keeps her personal life, especially her love life, private.

Later, she shared that her upcoming album would feature songs dedicated to specific people. While we’re still not sure who her latest single ‘300 Noches’ is about, her new song ‘La Mala’ is especially personal. If you’re not familiar with Belinda’s story, she’s often been labeled by the media as ‘troublesome,’ or as she herself puts it, ‘La Mala’ (The Bad One). Especially when it comes to relationships.

On her Instagram, she wrote, “It’s the stories, the myths, the fantasies, and the different versions of me that have given life to: ‘LA MALA’.” She also dedicated this song to her fans and, in particular, to women: “Above all, my inspiration goes to my fans and to all the women who have ever felt judged, attacked without mercy or remorse, and vulnerable in a world that can sometimes be very cruel and unaware of the harm it can cause.”

Despite all of this, she emphasizes the importance of taking things with humor and finding a way to laugh at life.

‘La Mala’ Lyrics in English

Beli
Belica
If they told you something
It might be true
And it’s not that serious
I’m just warning you
In case you want to stay

They say I’m the bad one
Bad reputation they throw at me
I throw back a blessing
That I’m not good
For a relationship
That I drive them crazy
That I’m their downfall
I know I’m the bad one
Bad reputation
That I have a hole where my heart should be
That I’m not good
For a relationship
That I drive them crazy
That I’m their downfall

People tell me
‘Beli, you’re not like that, like they say in the press and on tweets’
To the haters, I blow a kiss
That contradicts them
While I’m here in the gym working on my butt and biceps

It’s been a while since I stopped getting mad
Whether they talk good or bad
Just another normal day
I’m used to people wanting to mess with me
I don’t stop trying
And they end up getting screwed

They say I’m the bad one
Bad reputation they throw at me
I throw back a blessing
That I’m not good
For a relationship
That I drive them crazy
That I’m their downfall
I know I’m the bad one
Bad reputation
That I have a hole where my heart should be
That I’m not good
For a relationship
That I drive them crazy
That I’m their downfall

La la la la
Keep coming, dogs
La la la la la.
