¡Hola a todas las personas de esta comunidad de Hive! 💖 Sé que he estado desaparecida por un tiempo, pero ya volví y, para compensarles esta ausencia, les traigo algo muy especial: una canción que ha estado resonando fuerte en mi corazón últimamente. Se trata de "r u ok?" de Tate McRae, un tema que, más que una simple melodía, es un grito sincero de vulnerabilidad y desesperación emocional. ¿Me acompañan a analizarla desde mi perspectiva?
Para quienes no la conozcan, Tate McRae tiene un talento único para convertir las emociones más crudas en letras que duelen y sanan al mismo tiempo. En "r u ok?", habla de esa angustia de sentir que alguien que amas se aleja sin explicación, dejándote atrapada en un limbo de preguntas sin respuesta. "¿Estás bien? Porque no pareces estar bien" repite en el coro, y esa línea me atraviesa cada vez que la escucho.
Personalmente, elegí esta canción porque refleja algo que muchas hemos vivido: ese momento en que intentas sostener una relación (amorosa, de amistad o incluso familiar) que se desmorona por la indiferencia del otro. ¿Cuántas veces nos hemos quedado despiertas, sobrepensando mensajes fríos o excusas vacías? Tate lo describe con una claridad que duele: "Dices que estás ocupado, pero sé que estás mintiendo". Es esa sensación de saber que algo está mal, pero no tener el valor de confrontarlo por miedo a perder lo poco que queda.
Cuando canto esta canción, siento que libero todas esas emociones reprimidas. No es solo una interpretación, es una catarsis. Cada "¿por qué me haces esto?"que lanza Tate me recuerda que no estoy sola en esta lucha por entender a quienes amamos. Y quizás, al compartirla aquí, alguna de ustedes también encuentre consuelo.

Eng:Hi everyone in the Hive community! 💖 I know I’ve been gone for a while, but I’m back and, to make it up to you, I’m bringing something super special: a song that’s been echoing deeply in my heart lately. It’s "r u ok?" by Tate McRae—a track that’s more than just a melody, it’s a raw cry of vulnerability and emotional desperation. Will you join me as I break it down from my perspective?

For those who don’t know her, Tate McRae has this unique talent for turning the messiest emotions into lyrics that hurt and heal at the same time. In "r u ok?", she captures the agony of watching someone you love pull away without explanation, leaving you trapped in a limbo of unanswered questions. “Are you okay? ’Cause you don’t seem okay,” she repeats in the chorus, and that line pierces through me every time I hear it.

Personally, I chose this song because it mirrors something so many of us have experienced: that moment when you’re trying to hold onto a relationship (romantic, friendship, or even family) crumbling under the weight of the other person’s indifference. How many nights have we stayed awake overthinking icy texts or empty excuses? Tate spells it out with painful clarity: “You say you’ve been busy, but I know you’re lyin’.” It’s that gut feeling that something’s wrong, but lacking the courage to confront it out of fear of losing what little remains.

When I sing this song, it feels like releasing every pent-up emotion. It’s not just a performance—it’s catharsis. Every “why you do me like this?” Tate belts out reminds me I’m not alone in this battle to understand the people we love. And maybe, by sharing it here, some of you might find solace too

Letra
Are you okay?
'Cause you're the one who needed space
And finally now I'm doing fine
You would rather see me cry
Are you okay?
You're acting like we never changed
And finally I can sleep at night
Makes you wanna lose your mind
I know that you've been scared of love
And everything it did to us
But how am I supposed to open up?
When you were just so good at closing off
You're up and down, I'm inside out
You ripped my heart right from my mouth
And then I had to go and pick it up
And play it like I didn't give a fuck
You called up my phone fifty times from that party
Three AM, you thought I'd be there in a heartbeat
Your life but you might wanna put down the Bacardi
Mean this sincerely, dude
Are you okay?
'Cause you're the one who needed space
And finally now I'm doing fine
You would rather see me cry
Are you okay?
You're acting like we never changed
And finally I can sleep at night
Makes you wanna lose your mind
You called my friends, you called my dad
You begged for help to win me back
And they would never say it to your face
But no, they never liked you anyways
You missed my birthday and my shows
You made me feel so damn alone
And somehow now you got so much to say
Don't got time to listen anyway
You called up my phone fifty times from that party
Three AM, you thought I'd be there in a heartbeat
Your life but you might wanna put down the Bacardi
Mean this sincerely, dude
Are you okay?
'Cause you're the one who needed space
And finally now I'm doing fine
You would rather see me cry
Are you okay?
You're acting like we never changed
And finally I can sleep at night
Makes you wanna lose your mind
