Colombian pop star Fanny Lu is having a moment. She’s celebrating two decades in music, and life feels bright. What better way to mark this milestone than with one of her childhood idols, Yuri? The Colombian singer just dropped "Otra Partida." This new song brings together two powerful female voices in Latin pop. It mixes mariachi-pop with tropical sounds, full of strength, empowerment, and most of all, a message of self-love.
Fanny Lu recently opened up to a prominent Spanish-language entertainment magazine. She shared what inspired this vibrant track. "When ‘Otra Partida’ came to life, I felt what I feel now: so much gratitude for life, a deep personal and professional refresh," the artist confessed. For her, this song shows her resilience. It proves that you can always start over.
Fanny explained that she’s been through tough personal times. But she learned that every experience, even the painful ones, made her stronger. "This song tells you to pick yourself, again and again," she said. "It’s about closing old chapters without fear or bitterness. It’s about betting on yourself and finding the happiness you deserve." The artist also poured these feelings into her album, Una Vida Bien Vivida. Turning life lessons into music has been her way to celebrate what she’s learned and share it with joy and love.
A Dream Come True with Yuri
Fanny Lu, who is 51, sees singing with Yuri as one of her career’s greatest gifts. "For me, it’s a dream beautifully come true," she said, visibly excited. "I grew up singing her songs. I admired her voice, her music, and her special way of being an artist." The collaboration isn’t just a career win. It’s a deeply personal moment. "Having her by my side on this song is a gift for my younger self. It’s an honor as an artist. And it’s a beautiful life reward as I celebrate 20 years in music."
These two artists share a real connection that goes beyond music. "With Yuri, there’s a mutual admiration between two women," Fanny added. "We’ve walked challenging, different paths, but with the same need to rise, shine, and spread light."
The song also bridges cultures between Mexico and Colombia. Yuri brings her unique mariachi-pop sound. Fanny adds her tropical roots. "In the studio, we played with guitars, trumpets, our Colombian accordion, and Caribbean drums," she said, describing how they made the song. "We worked until we found a sound that truly represented both of us." The result is a fresh, powerful track that captures the heart of both artists. It also shares a message of strength and joy. "We wanted this song to be ours, inspired by our stories and our true selves. And we did it," she confirmed.
No One Dies From Love
One of the most striking lines in "Otra Partida" is: “Ya entendí que de amor no me muero.” This means, "I finally get it, I won’t die from love." For Fanny, this line shows a truth she’s learned over the years. "The most important love is the one you feel for yourself," she explained. "Partner love is beautiful, but it doesn’t define your worth or your happiness."
The song aims to remind listeners that romantic endings aren’t tragedies. They’re chances to start new. "‘Otra Partida’ wants to remind anyone who hears it that an ending isn’t the end of the world," she said with conviction. "It’s a chance to start better, with more clarity and more strength. No one dies from love… but you are reborn."
A Message of Reinvention for Women
Beyond its music, "Otra Partida" has become an anthem for women. Fanny sees the song as an invitation for women to bravely reinvent themselves and start again. "I believe women can find a message of courage and freedom in it," she expressed. "Reinventing yourself doesn’t mean forgetting your past. It means using it as fuel to write new chapters."
She concluded with emotion: "‘Otra Partida’ is an invitation to remember that life isn’t about how many times you lose. It’s about how many times you dare to play again. Betting on yourself, giving yourself the chances you need, and doing it with self-love and confidence, is what helps you grow and win."
With this new release alongside Yuri, Fanny Lu celebrates two decades in music. The song is set to become an anthem of resilience and self-love for a whole generation of women.
