Danna has always been in the spotlight. The Mexican star grew up around TV sets, recording studios, and photo shoots, becoming one of her country’s most familiar faces. But living life as a public figure can make you wonder who you really are. At 28, the actress is starting to find some answers.
Fed up with the media’s portrayal of her life, she wanted to share her journey of self-discovery and reinvention in Childstar: a mature album that’s not afraid to try new things and is packed with meaningful messages. Danna Paola hit rock bottom to become her true self to finally just be Danna.
I had fallen
Fear, loneliness
The minor chords that always made me cry
The pain of disappointment, after disappointment
And all under your spotlight
Under your opinion
I got tired of romanticizing every time they stabbed my trust
Thrown my love in the trash
I was embraced by the night
Who became my best companion, my best friend
The only one who listened to me without judging
Without wanting anything in return
Because I had already sold too much
You don’t know me
You don’t know shit about me
I’m not a shooting star
Please enjoy the fall
Applaud as I fall
The show must go on
That I made friends with the devil
Please enjoy the fall
Applaud as I fall
The show must go on
That I made friends with the devil
It doesn’t look so high from here
Am I awake, or am I unconscious?
Chasing big dreams, but it’s not enough
Maybe I’m leaving, this isn’t permanent
Nothing to light up, if I’m already dim
I’m falling, about to crash
Lucky to be a star without gravity’s law
So why am I falling? Falling
One more (Drink) What should I do? (Drunk)
Get wasted (Fuck) What do I say? (Stop)
I hate this, blacking out
Everyday I’m blacking out
One more (Drink) What should I do? (Drunk)
Get wasted (Fuck) What do I say? (Stop)
I hate this, blacking out
Everyday I’m blacking out
Everyone claims to know me and understand
What it feels like up here, isn’t visible
Maybe it’s different this time
I may not come back to life again
Nothing to illuminate if I’m already dim
I’m falling, about to crash
Lucky to be a star without gravity’s law
So why am I falling? Falling
One more (Drink) What should I do? (Drunk)
Get wasted (Fuck) What do I say? (Stop)
I hate this, blacking out
Every day I’m blacking out
One more (Drink) What should I do? (Drunk)
Get wasted (Fuck) What do I say? (Stop)
I hate this, blacking out
Every day I’m blacking out
She’s so lucky
She’s so lucky
I’m blacking out
I want to see you again
Have you on my lips
Temptation lifts me up
And I feel like tasting you again, eh-eh
Innocent face
But not at all obedient
I know what you have in mind
And amidst all the noise, I want to accept, yeah
I don’t know how I ended up with you
I became addicted
One crazy night (Uh-huh)
That runs through my whole body and provokes me (Uh-huh)
Adrenaline that sets in and blurs (Uh-huh)
Delicious vibe, passing the note from mouth to mouth (Mouth, mouth)
One crazy night (Yeah, uh-huh)
That runs through my whole body and provokes me (Uh-huh)
Adrenaline that sets in and blurs (Uh-huh)
Delicious vibe, passing the note from mouth to mouth (Mouth, mouth)
Oh, how you make me feel, yeah, yeah
(Make me feel good, make me feel good)
Mm, okay, let’s go
(Make me feel good, make me feel—)
The room is spinning around me (Spinning around me)
And I’m seeing violet, oh (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
I’m already on the second spin
And my senses are about to explode, yeah, eh
I don’t know how I ended up with you
I became addicted
One crazy night
That runs through my whole body and provokes me (Baby, provokes me)
Adrenaline sets in and blurs (Uh-huh)
Delicious vibe, passing the note from mouth to mouth (Mouth, mouth)
One crazy night (Woo, woo, woo)
That runs through my whole body and provokes me (Woo, woo, woo)
Adrenaline sets in and blurs (Woo, woo, woo)
Delicious vibe, passing the note from mouth to mouth (Mouth, mouth)
Make me feel good (Oh, how you make me feel, yeah)
Make me feel good (Oh, how you make me feel)
Make me feel good (Yeah), you make me feel good (Yeah)
Make me feel good, make me feel good
Make me feel good
Baby, set me free
Come and fly with me
I don’t want you to tell me I’m wrong, yeah, yeah, uh
One crazy night
That runs through my whole body and provokes me
Adrenaline sets in and blurs (Ey)
Delicious vibe (Yeah), passing the note from mouth to mouth (Mouth)
One crazy night (Crazy, crazy, oh yeah)
That runs through my whole body and provokes me (-vokes, vokes, oh, no, nah, nah)
Adrenaline sets in and blurs (-urs)
Delicious vibe (Na, na, na, na), passing the note from mouth to mouth
Make me feel good (Oh, how you make me feel, yeah)
Make me feel good (Oh, how you make me feel)
Make me feel good (Yeah), you make me feel good (Yeah)
Make me feel good, make me feel good
Make me feel good
S*x with your body, today I’m yours
I want to feel you, and you know you have the key
What are we doing here? Today it’s my turn
And you know I want your body
I won’t lie, I have to admit
That I want s*x with your body
F**k with your body
Today I woke up wanting to get wet
You’re my Caribbean sea to roll in, to swim in
Record a video to remind me
A fantasy to not forget, and stay in your mind
For me, I want you just for me
Make a tsunami out of me, run like a Ferrari
For me, play me like Atari
Smoke me like ‘Mary’, eat me like candy
Go low, low, low
From top to bottom like me, me, me
Make me feel like I own the sky, low
Go with your hands melting it
Today I woke up wanting to get wet
In your Caribbean sea I’m going to wallow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Take a video to remind me
A fantasy to not forget me and stay in your mind
S*x with your body, today I am for you
I want to feel you and you know that you have the key
What are we doing here? Today is my turn
And you know I want your bodysuit
I’m not going to lie, I have to admit
I want s*x with your body
F**k with your body
For me, I love you just for me
Make me a tsunami, run like Ferrari
For me, play me like Atari
Smoke me like ‘Mary,’ eat me like candy
There was tension between you and me
The sun had already set
Just a step away from the room, the guard had fallen
There’s no one else who can make me give in
Fireworks, exceed me again
Since that night we went to bars
Since that night you lost the keys
Since that night laughing in the street
Since that night with smoke in the air
‘Cause you got for me what I want from you
What you do to me? You got me wanting it more
‘Cause you got for me what I want from you
What you do to me? You got me wanting it more
Give it to me again
Leave me breathless and the world upside down
Let me climb you like Everest
And then you forget me
Give it to me again
Checkmate me like in chess
If you want we can meet one last time
And then you forget me
Firework, exceed me again
Since that night we went to bars
Since that night you lost the keys
Since that night laughing in the street
Since that night with the smoke in the air
‘Cause you got for me what I want from you
What do you do to me? You got me wanting it more
‘Cause you got for me what I want from you
What do you do to me? You got me wanting it more
Beer the taste that came out of your mouth
The smell of your neck remained on my clothes
Since that night there is nothing else that has me like this
Beer the taste that came out of your mouth
The smell of your neck remained on my clothes
Since that night, I swear, I can’t forget about you
It was an innocent kiss, a different game
And what could happen?
It was just a kiss
And we were very decent
It shows in your gaze
How you look at my back
You leave me speechless and I can’t help
What I think in my bed
There’s no one like her (Her, her)
Her lips are stars (-ars, -ars)
I don’t even know how to explain (No, no, no, no, no)
That I’m dying for her
There’s no one like her (Her, her)
Her lips are stars (-ars, -ars)
I don’t even know how to explain (No, no, no, no, no)
That I’m dying for her
The moment, kissing you, my mind
Stopped and I wasn’t aware
That I wouldn’t be able to confess
That I carry your lips with me always
I know you don’t want to hurt me
You have me by your side, baby, tell me
If you want, we keep it simple
You know it, I know it
There’s no one like her (Her, her)
Her lips are stars (-ars, -ars)
I don’t even know how to explain (No, no, no, no, no)
That I’m dying for her (For her, for her)
There’s no one like her (Her, her)
Her lips are stars (-ars, -ars)
I don’t even know how to explain (No, no, no, no, no)
That I’m dying for her (For her, for her)
It shows in your gaze
How you look at my back
There’s no one like her (Her, her)
Her lips are stars (-ars, -ars)
I don’t even know how to explain (No, no, no, no, no)
That I’m dying for her (For her, for her)
There’s no one like her (Her, her)
Her lips are stars (-ars, -ars)
I don’t even know how to explain (No, no, no, no, no)
That I’m dying for her (For her, for her)
Baby, queen, boss
Drama, fame, villain
She’s a dancer
Mamacita, muse, exquisite
She, the boss
She, the queen
Brunette mermaid
With cinnamon skin
She, the boss
She, the queen
Brunette mermaid
With cinnamon skin
Be myself to set me free
Be myself to let me live
Be myself
In ecstasy, in ecstasy, in ecstasy
Be myself to set me free
Be myself to let me live
Be myself
In ecstasy, in ecstasy, in ecstasy
Hello?
I’m walking around the city, feeling upbeat
You know I’m happy, that’s why you call me
Your karma is with me, saying it loves you
Better rest, tomorrow comes
I’m already onto something else, not sure about you
Hope your toxic one treats you well in the darkness
And I know you ask about me, but I couldn’t be better, baby
Regards from my friends who still hate you
A drink to forget you and another to wish you the best
I don’t need to hate you, don’t think you’re that important, no, no, no
A drink to forget you and another to wish you the best
I don’t need to hate you, don’t think you’re that important, no, no, no
I know I’m not easy to forget, baby, I already know that
It was you who lost me, now deal with it
Baby, you’re not like me, if I leave, I won’t come back
And drunks don’t lie, I didn’t make that up, no
A drink to forget you and another to wish you the best
I don’t need to hate you, don’t think you’re that important, no, no, no, no, no
A drink to forget you and another to wish you the best
I don’t need to hate you, don’t think you’re that important, no, no, no
Hey, don’t stop, let your body take control
Hey, don’t stop, eh-eh-hey
Hey, don’t stop, let your body heal
Hey, don’t stop, ah-ah (Not yet, no)
Yeah-yeah
A drink to for—
A drink to for—, eh
And I know you ask about me, but I couldn’t be better, baby
Regards from my friends who still hate you
A drink to forget you and another to wish you the best
I don’t need to hate you, don’t think you’re that important, no, no, no
A drink to forget you and another to wish you the best
I don’t need to hate you, don’t think you’re that important, no, no, no
A drink (Hey, don’t stop, let your body)
A-A-A-A drink (Hey, don’t stop, eh-eh-hey)
A-A-A drink (Hey, don’t stop, let your body heal)
(Hey, don’t stop, no, no)
One night you decided
That you didn’t love me anymore, and in the end, you left
You didn’t have the courage, and you cowardly fled
If the heart doesn’t understand how to resist
Don’t ask for forgiveness, you already screwed me over
Two days of pain, and on the fourth, it doesn’t exist
How stupid to love all your roots
But I’ll make you remember everything you lost
How romantic, almost a habit
Acid love, how sarcastic
Oh, how romantic, almost a habit
Love in acid, oh, how nostalgic
How romantic, almost a habit
Acid love, how sarcastic
Oh, how romantic, almost a habit
Love in acid, oh, how nostalgic
The story ends here
I’m going to relive far away from you
If someone loves you, it’s hard to let you down
Who would have thought we never had anything
Don’t ask for forgiveness, if you already screwed me over (If you already screwed me over)
Two days of pain and by the fourth, you don’t exist (You don’t exist, you don’t exist)
How stupid to love all your roots (All your roots)
But I’ll make you remember everything you lost
How romantic, almost a habit
Acid love, how sarcastic
Oh, how romantic, almost a habit
Love in acid, oh, how nostalgic
How romantic, almost a habit
Acid love, how sarcastic
Oh, how romantic, almost a habit
Love in acid, oh, how nostalgic
One night you decided
That you didn’t love me anymore and in the end, you left
You didn’t have the courage, and you cowardly fled
If the heart doesn’t understand how to resist
Seeking to feel something, I’m searching for what to do
I can’t answer to things that I myself don’t know
I’m finding myself and it finally feels good (Feels good)
Today my happiness doesn’t depend on anyone
It wasn’t in vain (No), it wasn’t bad (Bad)
My excuses ran out (-Out)
And if it’s a mistake for you, I wish you good luck
We need to talk openly
I’m not like other people
I know people sometimes don’t understand the truth
When it’s already more than evident
It was a pleasure meeting you
I’m not like other people
I know people sometimes don’t understand the truth
When it’s already more than evident
And as much as it hurts you, it’s the reality
We were living a lie, it was publicity
You can’t deny, something was missing
It was falling apart on us (It was falling apart on us)
And when the river makes noise, there’s water flowing
It sounds cold, but nothing fulfills us anymore
This time losing, I gain more
It was a good experiment with our feelings
We need to talk face to face
I’m not like other people (Like other people)
I know people sometimes don’t understand the truth (Tell me the truth)
When it’s already more than evident (Oh, leave me alone)
It was a pleasure meeting you (Oh, let me win)
I’m not like other people (Oh, let me cry)
I know people sometimes don’t understand the truth
When it’s already more than evident (Oh, leave me alone)
It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t in vain
My excuses ran out
And if it’s a mistake for you, I wish you good luck
We need to talk face to face
I’m not like other people
I know people sometimes don’t understand the truth (Uh)
When it’s already more than evident (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
It was a pleasure meeting you (Forgive me)
I’m not like other people (Like the others)
I know people sometimes don’t understand the truth (Ah)
When it’s already more than evident
Ah, ah-ah, ah
We need to talk
We need to talk
The neighbor told me you asked about me
You left me flowers, I gave them to the dog
Do you think I care if you stopped following me?
I know you made an account, you’re dying to see me happy
I’d rather be alone
Than be a slave to the lies you tell me
If I don’t believe in love, it’s not because I wanted to
I gave you everything, and you sold it for nothing
I’m better off alone
Although from time to time, I admit I think of you
I remember it’s not beautiful, it’s a lament
Because if I hate you, it’s because deep down I love you
You’re the rat, I’m Paquita
No amount of bleach can clean you
Even if you bathe in holy water
A woman with a motorcycle is what you need
I know you’re incurable, you’re worse than Covid
Worse than Covid
But I cried for you like they cried for Kobe
I’ve deleted all the photos
Tequila healed me
I forget you with a ranchera song
And with two, I find someone better
Because this was the best thing, no
I wish you all the best
Don’t come asking for forgiveness
Let God forgive you
I’d rather be alone
Than be a slave to the lies you tell me
If I don’t believe in love, it’s not because I wanted to
I gave you everything, and you sold it for nothing
I’m better off alone
Although from time to time, I admit I think of you
I remember it’s not beautiful, it’s a lament
Because if I hate you, it’s because deep down I love you
Tell me why you’re like this
What more do you want from me?
Don’t torture the wound that you know bleeds for you
And go, go
Go, I don’t want to make a mistake
Not twice
I always thought that seeing you on the street, I’d find you with someone else
And I know everything ended so badly, without going into details
The truth is I lived in a throwback because you left a mark on me
If I confess to you, I never forgot you
Your distance helped me be with myself
And not be enemies without forcing us to be friends
It’s either losing you or losing myself
I’m glad you’re better off without me
Without me x4
I didn’t expect to talk to you and receive that call
Erasing my own punishment
Right at twelve o’clock in the early morning
You see, you see, your destiny was never with me
And you see, you wake up and it’s not with me
And not be enemies without forcing us to be friends
It’s either losing you or loving myself
I’m glad you’re better off without me
We could leave it like this, I don’t know
If you need me, call me
As a colleague, I’ll be there
And I’ll tell you that I’ve already healed
I don’t need love anymore
And if you miss me a lot
I understand that memories burn
And I thank you for your honesty
I’ve been thinking over
It’s always in my head and makes no sense
You’ve been thinking over
You don’t see what I mean, what I mean
Without me x4
What does it play in my head?
What do you want to say?
Say it, say it
Say it, say it
Hey
