Background and composition
[edit]"Tu Boda" was released for digital download and streaming on 26 September 2024, through Rancho Humilde and Sony Music Latin.[1] Musically, it is a corrido tumbado-sierreño song, which thematically revolves about a man who is seeing his loved one marry someone else.[2] It also revolves around him wanting to die along with his ex-partner in the lyric, "Quiero que bailemos juntos / En el cielo o el infierno" (transl. "I want us to dance together / In heaven or hell").[3]
It was met with criticism for its lyrics, specifically the lyric reading, "Quiero manchar el vestido blanco de rojo" (transl. "I want to stain the white dress red"), which were suspected to promote femicide.[4] As a result, some users have asked the Institute of Women to take down the song from music platforms, though the Institute have yet to release a statement.[5]
