‘Today is going to be the day’ has managed to position itself as Miss Caffeina’s most listened to song on Spotify. They have finally found a song capable of bringing together more daily streams than their big hit ‘Look how I fly’.
The topic deserves it. Extracted from ‘Good luck’, the album about a breakup and a duel that the group published less than a month ago, it is the one that best sums it up. At least in the low stage, since the album also goes through other stages such as spite, revenge or acceptance.
Alberto Jiménez’s lyrics are brutally honest. It goes through self-deception (“I’m not falling in love again, it’s a lie, I know, but it sounds powerful”), alcoholism as a refuge from sorrow (“I’ve written to you for no reason and a few too many drinks, while I’m dancing among people”), total bewilderment (“I can’t distinguish you even if I have you in front of me”) and the tortuous memory of what is no longer there (“Damn, that note appeared…”).
Without a doubt the saddest moment of the album is that repetition of the song title four times in a row, without anyone truly believing that “today is going to be the day.” Alberto is really shouting no: today is not going to be the day he gets over all this, but not at all.
This is also a triumph in terms of production. The song begins with a beautiful piano, adds a lament in chorus as if taken from ‘El mal qué’, and is mainly composed of beats close to techno, under the command of Pablo Rouss, who in fact has commented on Instagram that this is his favorite recording from the Miss Caffeina album.
The group came to him because they liked the work that Rouss had done with Belén Aguilera, and the finish is just as sophisticated. Without a doubt, Miss Caffeina’s best song since the times of ‘Merlí’, ‘Reina’ and ‘Prende’.
