One of the most anticipated projects of this year, in terms of musical material, is undoubtedly the collaboration between Natanael Cano and Belinda. The Mexican singer finally returns to the music scene, following many years of absence. Not only that, but she does it with the corridos tumbados, which she has now baptized as “coquette corridos”.
A few months ago she released her first single of this new era, called “Cactus”, which many claim keeps many secrets and lies regarding her romantic relationship with Christian Nodal, another national Mexican regional artist.
Although that one was a success, this time he made an alliance with Natanael Cano, who has made it clear that working with Belinda was one of the best things he has done in his career. This is what he told Rolling Stone:
“I loved being able to collaborate with Beli for this song, I am a fan of hers and I am excited to see more female artists raising the flag of corridos tumbados. Belinda put her ‘coquette’ touch on it and it was magical,” Cano said.

This song, which fuses the characteristic sound of corridos with a more pop sensibility, reflects the innovative direction that both artists are taking in the music industry. Through melodies intertwined with the requinto guitar and piano accompaniment, Belinda and Cano tell the story of a past love that, despite the wounds, remains alive in memory.
The collaboration between Belinda and Natanael Cano resonates as a tribute to the diversity and richness of Mexican music, while introducing contemporary elements that appeal to a broader audience.

The lyrics of “300 Nights” display an emotional frankness, with lines like “Baby look at us, now we are two strangers and it feels so strange that following you fucked me I still miss you,” which expose vulnerability and remorse following a breakup. This lyrical exchange not only demonstrates both artists’ ability to evoke intense feelings, but also underscores the universality of their themes, resonating with listeners who have faced similar experiences.

I waited so long for you
That when it counts I realized
You had already left me behind
Now what do I do to forget you?
Eh, eh-eh-eh-eh-eh, uh-uh
And I waited so long for you
That when it counts I realized
You had already left me behind
And now what do I do to forget?
Three hundred nights have passed
And I keep stepping on the past
You can’t continue being the king
Without this queen by your side
Baby, take it easy
Now we are two strangers
And it feels so strange
That following you fucked me I still miss you
Baby, take it easy
I already gave everything and it was not given to us
It wasn’t because of me that it didn’t work
It was because of you that everything was screwed, everything was screwed
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Ea
That’s what lying down sounds like, little girl
Buy, Buy
White, Belica
How am I supposed to find that thing I had in someone else?
The same way of kissing, that connection so badass
I still remember how we did it and always woke up hugging
And being with you was like Santa Claus brought me twenty-three thousand gifts
Three hundred nights have passed
And I keep stepping on the past
I can’t continue being the king
Without this queen by my side
Baby, take it easy
Now we are two strangers
And it feels so strange
That following you fucked me I still miss you
Baby, take it easy
I gave everything and it was not given to us
It wasn’t because of me that it didn’t work
It was because of you that everything was screwed, everything was screwed
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
