# Tu Boda

"Tu Boda" (transl. "Your Wedding") is a song by Mexican singer Óscar Maydon and American regional Mexican band Fuerza Regida. It was released on 26 September 2024, through Rancho Humilde and Sony Music Latin, and is the second collaboration between both artists, after the 2023 single "Antidoto". Despite controversy surrounding the song's lyrics, it attained commercial success, peaking at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number four on the Billboard Global 200.

## Background and music

Fellow Mexican songwriter Alexis Fierro, also known as El Chachito, first came up with a melody and lyrics for "Tu Boda" at a time he was exhausted due to a tiring travel schedule. Inspired by the Tim Burton-directed film Corpse Bride, he also performed a sample of the song with a guitar. Impressed by the song, Óscar Maydon spent a set of days producing its guitar and tololoche arrangements, which were written through vocal sounds.
"Tu Boda" was released for digital download and streaming on 26 September 2024, through Rancho Humilde and Sony Music Latin. Musically, "Tu Boda" is a corrido tumbado-sierreño song, which thematically revolves about a man who is seeing his loved one marry someone else. It also revolves around him wanting to die along with his ex-partner in the lyric, "Quiero que bailemos juntos / En el cielo o el infierno" (transl. "I want us to dance together / In heaven or hell").
