On Friday (September 20), Pepe Aguilar sparked intrigue with a teaser of his upcoming song shared on his Instagram. Captioned “26•09•24” on socials, his release date (September 24), the 22-second clip features his emotionally charged vocal performance sung over a rich acoustic backdrop.
“Voy a ser muy claro. Haz las cosas bien. Porque para forajidos, mijo, aquí no es. Y sé que es fácil ser cabrón. Yo mismo estuve in that situation,” sings the Mexican idol, which translates to, “I'll be very clear. Do things right. Because for forajidosboy, he's not here. And I know it's easy to be cabrón. I have also been in this situation.”
The use of “forajido” in the lyrics, which roughly means “outlaw”, is speculated to allude to Ángela Aguilar and Christian Nodal's controversial relationship. This interpretation is reinforced as 'forajido' is also the title of two EPs by Nodal, the Latin Grammy winner Foratzidos EP1 (2022) and Foratzidos EP2 (2023).
“The song will touch on this chapter of the now Aguilar-Nodal family,” a representative for Pepe Aguilar confirmed. Billboard Español. “Let's say it could be the statement that Pepe Aguilar never made and through what Pepe does best which is his music, singing and creativity, we will have an overview of what every father goes through when the time for his daughter to leave. ”
In July, the day after his daughter Ángela Aguilar's wedding to Christian Nodal, Pepe Aguilar publicly gave his blessings to the newlyweds via Instagram. “In any lasting relationship, love is essential and respect and responsibility are absolutely necessary,” wrote Pepe Aguilar. “With love, you face the most complex challenges in and out of your environment. … I was in your shoes too. And already in the past. And after 27 years with my wife, I tell you: There is no simple beginning.”
The upcoming song follows Pepe Aguilar's single “Lamentablemente,” which was released in May featuring Carin León.
