Maria Becerra links up with Karina Tejeda and XROSS for VUELVES TRISTE, the moody standout from her 2025 album QUIMERA, out November 20, 2025, via Warner Music Latina, and it creeps in like that late-night scroll through old messages, all regret and that dull ache when someone keeps coming back just to leave you sadder than before.
Maria’s been on a tear blending reggaeton fire with real vulnerability, and this one leans hard into the second half. She first teased the title on her stories a couple months back, calling it the song that made her cry in the booth, and you hear why. The beat is slow-burn dembow with these haunting synths that swell just enough to carry the weight, while Karina’s smoky tone and XROSS’s deeper layers turn the chorus into this three-part confession. They wrote it in one long Buenos Aires session last winter, Maria starting with the hook and the others jumping in like therapy.
VUELVES TRISTE sits around the middle of QUIMERA’s 17-track maze, an album Maria’s framing as her most fearless yet, chasing illusions and facing the monsters we make out of love. Maria’s in this incredible pocket right now, fresh off her sold-out arena run and that surprise Grammy nod buzz, proving she’s not just Argentina’s biggest voice but one of Latin pop’s sharpest storytellers. At 25, she’s stopped apologizing for feeling everything out loud, and QUIMERA feels like the record where she finally owns every scar.
X lit up the second the snippet dropped last week, fans already clipping Karina’s verse over rainy window edits and calling it the breakup anthem we’ll ugly-cry to all summer. If her last album was the glow-up, this one’s the shadow work.

Lyrics of VUELVES TRISTE by Maria Becerra
[Verso 1: Maria Becerra]
Se Anda Comentando Por Los Pasillos
Que Tu Novia Te Ha Dejado
Solito Y Triste Llorando
Viniste A Dar Pena Por Estos Lados
Qué Cachibache Borracho En La Calle
Acordándote Del Pasado
No Hay Vuelta Atrás Lo Nuestro Está Enterrado
No Vuelvas Sos Un Quebrado
La Razón Siempre Te La Da El Tiempo
Sabía Que Iba A Llegar Este Momento
Y Ahora Dime ¿Qué Otra Mentira Más Vas A Decir?
[Estribillo: Karina]
Igual Ya No Hay Nada Que Me Asombre
Si Nunca Supiste Cómo Ser Un Hombre
Y Yo Que Puse Las Manos En El Fuego Por Ti
Ahora Vuelves Triste A Buscarme A Mí
Y Yo Que No Quiero Saber Más De Ti
Me Dejaste Sola Y Yo Moría Por Ti (Te Acorda’?)
Te Amé Tanto Y Tú Solo Me Hiciste Sufrir
[Verso 2: Karina]
Papi No Ya Pasó
Hace Tiempo Me Perdiste
Yo Te Amé Te Cuidé
Y Vos Solo Me Mentiste
Sabes Que No
Ya Nadie Juega Conmigo
Corazón Antes Muerta Que Contigo
¿Qué Pasó? Juraste Ser Mi Enemigo
Pero El Karma Resultó Ser Mi Amigo
[Estribillo: Maria Becerra]
Igual Ya No Hay Nada Que Me Asombre
Si Nunca Supiste Cómo Ser Un Hombre
Y Yo Que Puse Las Manos En El Fuego Por Ti
Y Ahora Vuelves Triste A Buscarme A Mí
Y Yo Que No Quiero Saber Más De Ti
Me Dejaste Sola Y Yo Moría Por Ti
Te Amé Tanto Y Tú Solo Me Hiciste Sufrir
[Outro: Ambas]
Y Esta Es La Princesita
Con La Lady
