Ozuna presents his new single, “Mi Yo De Antes,” premiering exclusively on Billboard Thursday (June 4).
On the three-minute track — produced and written alongside El Creador Henry, J Melodiez, Hi Flow and Tivi Gunz — the Puerto Rican artist explores the aftermath of a breakup from a man’s perspective.
“My heart answers/ that it no longer wants to love you/ I erased my former self/ I was too much for you/ that is why you are not here,” he chants on the song that’s overall about a woman who failed him and she’s not happy while he’s moved on.
Sonically, the single opens with soulful electric guitar riffs and quickly transitions into a full-fledged reggaetón song powered by hard-hitting drums. And the real showstopper? Ozuna’s melodious voice.
“’Mi Yo De Antes’ has a lot of emotion and truth behind it,” the artist said in a press statement. “It speaks about how love and life experiences can change who you are, how you can drift away from yourself, and later look back trying to understand when you stopped being that person.”
The music video — filmed in Puerto Rico by Ricardo Rivera (“Fue Ricky”) and featuring Cuban-American model Mia Dio — backs the song’s sentiment by demonstrating the emotional highs and lows of a modern-day relationship.
“Mi Yo De Antes” comes on the heels of Ozuna’s “Una Aventura,” released in March.
In April, Ozuna earned his 37th No. 1 on Latin Airplay with “Enemigos,” his collaboration with Beéle and Ovy on the Drums. The feat places Ozuna as the second all-time among artists since the tally began in 1994, just behind J Balvin with 40 No. 1s.
