Here’s Everything We Know About Pepe Aguilar’s Upcoming New Song

On Friday (Sept. 20), Pepe Aguilar sparked intrigue with a teaser of his upcoming song shared on his Instagram. Captioning it “26•09•24” on socials, its release date (Sept. 24), the 22-second snippet features his emotionally charged vocal delivery sung over a rich acoustic backdrop.

Voy a ser muy claro. Haz las cosas bien. Porque para forajidos, mijo, aquí no es. Y sé que es fácil ser cabrón. Yo mismo estuve en esa situación,” sings the Mexican idol, which translates to, “I’m going to be very clear. Do things right. Because for forajidos, my boy, it’s not here. And I know it’s easy to be cabrón. I’ve been in that situation myself.”

The use of “forajido” in the lyrics, roughly meaning “outlaw,” is speculated to allude to Ángela Aguilar and Christian Nodal‘s controversial relationship. This interpretation is reinforced as “forajido” is also the title of Nodal’s two EPs, the Latin Grammy-winning Forajidos EP1 (2022) and Forajidos EP2 (2023).

In July, the day after the marriage of his daughter Ángela Aguilar to Christian Nodal, Pepe Aguilar, publicly gave his blessings to the newlyweds via Instagram. “In any lasting relationship, love is essential and respect and responsibility totally indispensable,” Pepe Aguilar wrote. “With love, you face the most complicated challenges inside and outside your environment. … I have also been in your shoes. And already in the past. And after 27 years with my wife I say to you: There is no simple principle.”

The upcoming song follows Pepe Aguilar’s single “Lamentablemente,” which he released in May with Carin León.
