On Friday, May 10, Grupo Frontera released a new album: Jugando A Que No Pasa Nada (Playing like nothing happens). A studio work of 12 songs where the Mexican-American band once again demonstrates why they are one of the most listened-to groups in the Spanish-speaking world.

In this new LP, the group has had great collaborations: from Maluma to Christian Nodal, passing through Morat. But it has undoubtedly been the song they have with Nicki Nicole that is causing the most talk. The reason? The lyrics speak of a failed relationship in which someone was unfaithful. We’re talking about ‘Desquite.’

Nicki Nicole’s ‘Desquite’: Meaning

And yes, we know that when we told you that the lyrics speak of a relationship that ended because of infidelity, Peso Pluma came to your mind. And it’s because the term «desquite» itself refers to those desires that a person has to forget about a relationship. It seems that Nicki Nicole didn’t think twice about joining this collaboration.

It is worth remembering that last February, after the Super Bowl, Peso Pluma was seen hand in hand and affectionate with an unknown woman entering his hotel. Images that went around the world and reached Nicki Nicole, his partner at that time, who decided to end the relationship with a public statement.

Now, Nicki Nicole could have dedicated some verses to Peso Pluma in this new song with Grupo Frontera. And the artist talks about infidelity where she felt betrayed: «Tell Frontera I’m ready to leave, let them help me forget everything you did to me. I was so faithful, but it’s useless.»

Additionally, the artist mentions a lover in the lyrics: «Hand me a bottle, I dedicate it to your lover. That tomorrow will be a member of my club.

She also explains that she holds no grudges: «You didn’t know how to take care of me. It’s not that I want revenge. Today I’m going to pay you back with the same coin you paid me.» Coincidence? We don’t think so. Artists express their feelings and experiences through their songs. And you, do you think it’s directed at Peso Pluma?

‘Desquite’ by Grupo Frontera and Nicki Nicole: Translation and Lyrics in English

Grupo Frontera!
I’m ready for the showdown!

Verse 1 — Grupo Frontera

My feelings hurt a lot, mami
I would never have done to you what you did to me
Don’t give me that innocent face like it wasn’t you
Everyone already knows about you out there

I almost sold the truck and the house
To give you a wild past life
And you cheating on me
I’m going out to drink with the guys
To see if the pain goes away with alcohol
And no, today I won’t sleep (yeah)

Today I’m going to drink because there’s payback
If I get drunk, let them take away my phone
So I don’t call you to tell you
That I miss you, what did you do to me?

Chorus — Grupo Frontera and Nicki Nicole

Today I’m going to drink because there’s payback
If I get drunk, let them take away my phone
So I don’t call you to tell you
That I miss you, what did you do to me?

Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay

That’s right!
Grupo Frontera
And NICKI NICOLE
Let’s go

Verse 2 — Nicki Nicole

Tell Frontera I’m ready to leave
Let them help me forget everything you did to me
I was so faithful, but it’s useless
Today I’m really ready, ready for the showdown

Pass me a bottle, I dedicate it to your lover
That tomorrow will be a member of my club
And if I run into your mother, I’ll leave her a rosary
So she can pray daily even though that won’t change you, eh

You left me alone (you left me alone)
You crashed alone (you crashed alone)
If I send you a photo it will be with your friend who always covers for you (no, no)
You didn’t know how to take care of me (do you understand?)
It’s not that I want revenge (it’s not that I want revenge)
I’m going to pay you back with the same coin you paid me

Chorus — Grupo Frontera and Nicki Nicole

Today I’m going to drink because there’s payback
If I get drunk, let them take away my phone
So I don’t call you to tell you
That I miss you, what did you do to me?

Today I’m going to drink because there’s payback
If I get drunk, let them take away my phone
So I don’t call you to tell you
That I miss you, what did you do to me?
