‘Romántica’ by María Becerra and Jay Wheeler: Meaning and English Lyrics

The song celebrates a soft, intentional kind of love

Share:

‘Romántica’ is a song that celebrates a soft, intentional kind of love — the kind that feels grounding rather than overwhelming. In this track, María Becerra and Jay Wheeler describe what it’s like to be in a relationship where affection comes naturally. Where everyday gestures feel meaningful, and where vulnerability stops being scary.

The lyrics revolve around waking up next to someone who brings you calm, someone whose presence makes your day feel lighter. Both artists sing about the comfort of being with a partner who inspires them, who makes them want to write songs, and who brings out a version of themselves that feels safe and loved.

It’s not a dramatic love or a chaotic one. It’s a love built on small details: hugs for no reason, shared mornings, letters, and the simple joy of having someone who feels like home.

At the same time, the song acknowledges how rare that connection can be. Jay Wheeler talks about how love changed the rhythm of his days, breaking monotony, giving direction, and bringing purpose. María highlights how being close to someone can make you believe in “forever” again.

‘Romántica’ is about being fully present in a relationship and appreciating the softness that comes with loving and being loved back. It’s a reminder that romance doesn’t have to be grand gestures — sometimes it’s in the little moments that shape a real story.

‘ROMÁNTICA’ – English Lyrics

[Verse 1: María Becerra]

Good morning, today I woke up happy
Grateful, because once again I open my eyes next to you
It’s not being corny, but when I watch you sleep
I start believing all over again that love can last forever
And I know you feel it too when you look at me like that
When you hug me for no reason at all
It’s like a caress straight to my heart
Writing you songs becomes addictive
’Cause baby, you’re my inspiration

[Pre-Chorus: María Becerra]

You made me lose my mind
I couldn’t resist
And I wrote you another song

[Chorus: María Becerra]

Romantic, romantic
I’m just a slave to your kisses
My only vice is tracing your body
Romantic, romantic
Like all the letters I write for you
Everything feels possible when you’re with me, oh-oh

[Verse 2: Jay Wheeler]

You’re so perfect you don’t seem real
You’re the reason my days turn out good
I swear that ever since I started loving you
Everything changed — monotony’s gone, yeah
I’m not lost anymore; I know the way to your love
I’m lucky you’re here for me, that I can say you’re mine

[Pre-Chorus: Jay Wheeler]

You made me lose my mind
I couldn’t resist
And I wrote you another song

[Chorus: Jay Wheeler]

Romantic, romantic
I’m just a slave to your kisses
My only vice is tracing your body
Romantic, romantic
Like all the letters I write for you
Everything feels possible when you’re with me, oh-oh

[Bridge: Jay Wheeler & María Becerra]

When you’re with me
Uh-woh, uh-woh
With me

Go ahead, Jay
This is the lady, announcing it
Rre

(’Cause with you, only with you I’m romantic)
I don’t know what you did to me, but right now
You never leave my heart
(’Cause with you, only with you I’m romantic)
Because I want to love you, I want to adore you
I want you only for me
(’Cause with you, only with you I’m romantic)
I don’t want anyone else, I just want to be with you

[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro: María Becerra & Jay Wheeler, Both] (’Cause with you)
La-la-la-la-la, I love you, my love
(I’m romantic)
I don’t want to lose you, I don’t want to lose you — I love you, baby
(’Cause with you)
With you, I’m brave enough to stay
(I’m romantic)
