DECIDETE
“Decidete” is a song about love as a full commitment, and not a half-hearted relationship. "Si me quieres o me dejas, pero a medias no..." about not settling for uncertainty in love and being strong enough to walk away when you aren't getting the love you deserve.
"Know Me By Now" is a deeply personal song born from more than 20 years of marriage. It reflects the heartache and frustration of feeling misunderstood by someone who should know you better than anyone else. This song captures the longing to be recognized, respected and truly known.
This song is a reflection of the grief you feel when you lose someone so integral in your life that when they leave you behind, you feel like you've lost half your heart. The process of moving on without them is almost unbearable because they made you whole.
