The chorus emphasizes that the protagonist never stopped loving them and couldn't love anyone else while the other person "held their love".

The song opens with a condition for starting over—the partner must "forget the past" to truly move forward.

The lyrics tell the story of a lover who has returned after a long absence.

The song was written and composed by (Alberto Aguilera Valadez). During this era, Estela Nuñez was one of the first major artists to record Gabriel’s work, helping to propel his career while he was still a rising star.
