Songfacts®:

  • Karol G's Mañana Será Bonito album represented a specific phase of her life when nothing felt great. She felt disconnected from herself and from her friends and kept repeating the album title "tomorrow is going to be beautiful" as a mantra.

    "I spent a lot of moments in my life trying to represent that I was a bichota - a boss girl - but I wasn't feeling that way completely," Karol G told Apple Music. "It's good and normal sometimes, feeling not that good and not in that mood - but that tomorrow is going to be beautiful."
  • The opening track of Mañana Será Bonito sheds light on the message conveyed throughout the record. The song title, "Mientras Me Curo Del Cora," translates to "while I heal my heart" in English and speaks to the process of self-recovery after a heartbreak. Karol G sings about not feeling 100% presently but having faith that things will improve with time, aided by the right places, people, and music. Towards the end of the song, Karol reveals she has someone close to her whose love helps speed up the healing process.
  • "Mientras Me Curo del Cora" has a light and breezy feel, created by a choir of voices with no accompanying instruments. The inspiration for this unique style of music came from Karol G's trip to the Masai Mara reserve in Kenya, where she became enamored with the local tradition of all-vocal recordings.
  • Karol G later collaborated with Linda Goldstein, the producer behind Bobby McFerrin's Grammy-winning hit "Don't Worry Be Happy." Goldstein crafted the intricate vocal arrangements for "Mientras Me Curo del Cora" and inserted the sample of "Don't Worry Be Happy" that plays at the beginning.

    "If it hadn't been for that trip to Kenya I took, which made me think of that idea, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet [Goldstein] and tell her how important it was for me that she be a part of this track that opens the album," Karol told Variety. "It just all fell into perfect alignment."

  • Jovy from WashingtonThis song is a sad ripoff of a master piece of a great American musician, Bobby McFerrin. Karol G is one more "singer" pretending to be an artist, the song lacks originality and good lyrics. A five year old probably can compose better songs than this awful piece of caca.
