LASSO – ‘CUANDO TE DEJAN DE QUERER’

BY JANIN AYALA FELIX | FEBRUARY 28, 2025 | LATIN POP | TRACKS

With his latest release, Venezuelan singer-songwriter Lasso proves once again why he’s one of Latin pop’s most emotionally fluent storytellers. His new single, “Cuando Te Dejan de Querer” (“When They Stop Loving You”), now streaming across platforms, is a raw and beautiful portrait of the kind of breakup that chooses you — the kind you never see coming, even when you feel it unraveling.

The track unfolds like a quiet confession with an acoustic guitar in hand. It captures the emotional arc of two people who go from strangers, to friends, to lovers… and, eventually, back to strangers. It’s a narrative that rings painfully true in today’s era of fleeting connections. But this isn’t just about heartbreak — it’s about how it feels to fight for something that’s already gone.

Lyrically, Lasso delivers one of his most vulnerable performances to date. The protagonist pleads, searches, clings to memories — until the truth hits: when someone stops loving you, there’s nothing left to do. But instead of wallowing in sadness, the song offers a strangely liberating message: sometimes the best thing you can do is accept it, raise a glass, and move on. The contrast between the breezy, upbeat melody and the emotional weight of the lyrics is striking — and precisely what makes the song so powerful. It’s not just a breakup song — it’s an anthem for those learning to let go.

Musically, “Cuando Te Dejan de Querer” blends light, radio-ready production with deep emotional resonance. Lasso’s style — polished pop with cinematic sensitivity — makes the song feel at once intimate and universal. It’s the kind of track you could imagine playing in a movie, during the moment of realization that everything has changed.

The single is part of Lasso’s upcoming album Malcriado, set to drop March 27. The project features collaborations with Latin pop heavyweights like Sofía Reyes (Siempre Llegas Tarde), Ha*Ash (5 Minutos Más), Mau y Ricky (Bilingües), and Micro TDH (No Escuches Esta Canción), alongside solo tracks like ¿Vienes o Voy? and Ese Final Ya Me Lo Sé. All signs point to Malcriado being Lasso’s most personal and ambitious work yet.

Since its release, “Cuando Te Dejan de Querer” has been met with praise for its emotional honesty and accessible structure. It’s a song that lures you in with its catchy chorus, then hits you with lyrics that ache. A bittersweet contradiction — and one of the reasons fans and critics alike are calling it another standout in Lasso’s growing catalog.

With this new release, Lasso isn’t just adding a banger to his discography. He’s reminding us that heartbreak is a universal language — and few know how to speak it as clearly, and beautifully, as he does.
