Karol G<\/a> added two more golden gramophones to her collection at the 2025 Latin GRAMMYS<\/a> thanks to “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido,” one of which marked a milestone for the singer\/songwriter: her first win for Song Of The Year.<\/p>\n

The smash single also won Best Tropical Song \u2014 Karol G’s first win in that category, too \u2014 but she wasn’t able to accept that award. So when she stepped onto the Latin GRAMMYS stage to receive her Song Of The Year trophy, she delivered a heartfelt speech about what the moment meant for her.<\/p>\n

“The only thing I want to say is that lately everyone has an opinion, lately there are so many people giving their opinions about what people should or shouldn’t do, what they should wear, what they shouldn’t wear, how they should come, how they should do whatever,” the now eight-time Latin GRAMMY winner said in Spanish. “And in a way, I started to feel that everything I was doing stopped being right, that I was losing my magic, that I was losing my charm.”<\/p>\n

As the singer shared, she was able to tune out the negativity to create Tropicoqueta, which features “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido”: “The only thing that was left from all that for me was going back to my roots, back to the intention and the purpose \u2014 that I do what I do because I love it, because I enjoy it, and because I was born to do it.<\/p>\n

“This award is giving me the opportunity to say it,” she added. “I’m not saying it for myself, I’m saying it because there are so many people at home thinking they’re not good enough or not professional enough to do what they want to do.”<\/p>\n

Inspired by the vibrant energy of the Dominican Republic and paying tribute to merengue and mambo, “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” is a lyrical reflection on how life might have been if love had arrived sooner. But while the song asks “What would have been If I had met you before?,” Karol G urged those listening to trust their instincts and take chances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Forget about the world, forget about the noise, and when you stop worrying about other people’s opinions, the only things left are love and passion \u2014 beyond talent, passion and obsession for what you’ve done,” she declared.<\/p>\n

And as if receiving the Song Of The Year honor wasn’t special enough, as Karol G pointed out, this year’s category included “impressive people.” “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” won over Bad Bunny’<\/a>s “BAILE INoLVIDABLE” and “DtMF,” CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso’<\/a>s “El D\u00eda del Amigo” and “#Tetas,” Natalia Lafourcade’s “Cancionera,” Mon Laferte’<\/a>s “Otra Noche de Llorar,” Andr\u00e9s Cepeda<\/a>‘s “Bogot\u00e1,” “Palmeras en el Jard\u00edn” by Alejandro Sanz<\/a>, and Liniker’<\/a>s “Veludo Marrom.”<\/p>\n
