ALEJANDRO FERNÁNDEZ AND CARÍN LEÓN UNITE TWO GENERATIONS OF MUSICAL LEGACY IN THE HEART-WRENCHING “ME ESTÁ DOLIENDO”
ON ITS RELEASE DAY, THE SONG REACHED THE TOP 3 ON BOTH THE OVERALL ITUNES CHART AND THE MEXICAN MUSIC CHART
Miami, FL (May 9, 2025) – One of the greatest icons of Mexican music, Alejandro Fernández, joins his voice with the global ambassador of contemporary Regional Mexican music, Carín León, for the heart-wrenching ballad “Me Está Doliendo.” The single is now available on all digital platforms.
In this powerful collaboration—which debuted in the Top 3 of both the overall and Mexican Music iTunes charts on its release day—these titans of Regional Mexican music blend their styles in a soul-baring ranchera ballad about the pain of lost love.
“Me está doliendo” explores the contradictions of wounded pride: a man begs his friends to take away his phone so he won’t give in to the urge to reach out to his former love, while confessing that his heart “beats very slowly” in her absence.
With arrangements that honor the ranchera tradition while adding contemporary nuances, Carín and ‘El Potrillo’ convey raw and honest vulnerability, where alcohol breaks down pride, revealing a painful truth of the heart: “I was good at loving you, but terrible at forgetting you.”
The collaboration comes just three days after Carín shared a snippet of the classic “Me dediqué a perderte”—a global hit by Alejandro Fernández—on social media. That song became a milestone in the career of the Fernández dynasty heir and was part of his 2004 album ‘A Corazón Abierto.’
This duet follows Alejandro Fernández’s highly anticipated album ‘De Rey a Rey,’ a tribute to the legacy of his father, Vicente Fernández. The album was recorded live at La Plaza de Toros La México, where Alejandro made history by becoming the first and only artist to sell out four shows at the venue, drawing over 160,000 attendees in total.
