### From

❝**fue mejor**❞ is a song by Kali Uchis featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR from her sophomore studio album *Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) ∞*. It appears as the second track on the album.

An acoustic version was released on June 4, 2021 and later, a remix featuring SZA was released on September 29, 2021, with a music video. The remix was later included on the album's deluxe edition.

## Background

Uchis first mentioned the song on November 6, 2020, when she was asked on Instagram stories about her favorite tracks on the album.

The song's title was revealed on November 17, 2020, when Uchis posted a tracklist-reveal video for the album on her social media.

The remix of the song was recorded early in 2021 after the album version was released. On December 20, 2020, SZA replied to a tweet, revealing that she had already collaborated with Uchis previously. Later, on January 27, 2021, she posted an Instagram story of herself and Uchis in the studio while they were recording the remix.

On September 20, 2021, Uchis teased a snippet of SZA's verse on her social media asking fans if they want it to come out. Both Uchis and SZA announced the remix's release on September 24, 2021, posting the artwork and some photos from the music video.

## Theme

The song is about an absence of a breakup and a process of letting go but in the end realizing that it was better that way, that leaving that relationship behind was the best decision. And thanks to that, be able to find yourself and overcome it. Uchis uses the metaphor of a tattoo to make fun of her ex because. despite being in other relationships. he still thinks about her: "there are things that are tattooed without ink" a line that is repeated on the song's chorus.

**[Kali Uchis]**

These worldly possessions

I don’t need none of them

tu no me mereces

Someone could come love me

if somebody know me

tu no me conoces

Take a little sip, take a little puff

Don't want to think don’t want to talk, no

Is it enough is it too much, oh

I’m not this I'm not done

Y me fui en el jeep a las doce

the back seat donde yo te conoci

si me voy no pierdas de vista

hay cosas que se tatuan sin tinta

Fue mejor volar pa’ no caerme

no amor no me duele perderte

ya no estoy pero nunca olvidas

Hay cosas que se tatuan sin tinta

Ya no me pesa na, la vida me trata bien

Tu estas con otra haciendo las cosas

que en mi cama yo te enseñe

pa’ nada si despues me llamas

me dices que todo tu estrañas

soy tu favorita la que necesitas

pero yo no estoy pa’ que eso se repita

El precio de tu amor lo page

si cuando te perdi me encontré

lo siento mi camino lo cambie

pero para bien

**[PARTYNEXTDOOR]**

Connected with our bodies and our soul

connected and I’m never letting go

baby, once I got ahold of you, I

that’s when I knew

I’d be there for you whenever you need

but sometimes you feel you’re better off without me

sometimes you feel you’re better off

**[Kali Uchis]**

Fue mejor volar para no caerme

no amor no me duele perderte

ya no estoy pero nunca olvidas

Hay cosas que se tatuan sin tinta

Y me fui en el jeep a las doce

the back seat donde yo te conoci

si me voy no pierdas de vista

hay cosas que se tatuan sin tinta

These worldly possessions

I don't need none of them

you do not deserve me

Someone could come love me

if somebody know me

you don't know me

Take a little sip, take a little puff

Don't want to think don't want to talk, no

Is it enough is it too much, oh

I'm not this, I'm not done

And I left in the jeep at twelve

the back seat where I met you

If I go, you won’t lose sight

some things are tattooed without ink

It was better to fly so as not to fall

no love it doesn't hurt to lose you

though I'm gone you never forget

There are things that are tattooed without ink

It doesn't weigh me down anymore, life treats me well

You are with another doing things

that in my bed I taught you

for nothing just to call me later

You tell me that you miss everything about me

I'm your favorite the one you need

but I'm not here for that to repeat

The price of your love I paid

but when I lost you I found myself

sorry i changed my ways for good

**[PARTYNEXTDOOR]**

Connected with our bodies and our soul (Oh)

Connected and I'm never letting go (Oh)

Baby, once I got ahold of you, I

That's when I knew

I'd be there for you whenever you need (Yeah)

But sometimes you feel you're better off without me (Without me)

Ooh

Sometimes you feel you're better off

**[Kali Uchis]**

It was better to fly so as not to fall

no love it doesn't hurt to lose you

I'm gone but you never forget

There are things that are tattooed without ink

And I left in the jeep at twelve

the back seat where I met you

If I go, don't lose sight of

there are things that are tattooed without ink

**[SZA]**

di mi ultima toma el cambio enemigo

di mi ultima y dejaste que esa perra se fue

con lo mejor de mí

tu nunca fuiste mio

tu nunca fuiste mierda

desde la primera vez

que me pruebaste

duro dejarte ir cuando lo haces así

te hace sentir bueno cuando me

tratas tan mal tu

me diste mas de lo que te pedí

told you I’m ready, so why won’t you let me

**[Kali Uchis & SZA]**

Fue mejor (fue mejor) volar para no caerme

gave you my last keep the change, enemy

gave you my last and you let that bitch get the best of me

hard to leave you when you do it like that

make you feel good when you treat me so bad

you gave me more than what I asked for

told you I was ready, so why won’t you let me?
