Sale el sol, sol, sol
late el corazón-on-on
Paso a paso voy, voy, voy
todo empieza en mi interior

Si me caigo me levanto (hey)
si me asusto canto y canto (hey)
Cuando creo en lo que soy
mi corazón me dice: ¡voy!

late, late al mismo son
Ma-hi-a
co-ra-zón
sigue, sigue tu emoción

¿Quién soy? — Mahia
¿Dónde voy? — Aquí
¿Quién manda? — Mi corazón
¡Uno, dos, tres… así!

late fuerte sin razón
Ma-hi-a
co-ra-zón
baila, baila esta canción

INSTRUMENTATION / ARRANGEMENT
- Percussion: tight kick, claps emphasized on beats 2 & 4; add extra short clap hits aligned with syllable breaks (tiny clap accents on Ma-hi-a / co-ra-zón syllable separations).
- Additional percussion: light congas and shakers playing a 16th-note groove to keep bounce without cluttering the child's voice.
- Bass: bouncy sub-bass with playful bounce (sidechain lightly to the kick for clarity).
- Synths: bright synth stabs for the hook (short, plucky), a warm pad under verses to add magic, and a bright lead for small melodic fills between lines.
- Hook effects: a subtle beat-drop/mini-break before the Chorus — remove pad + reduce instruments to clap + sub-bass swell for one bar, then drop full groove on the first chorus beat for impact.
- Backing: children’s choir (unison + light harmony) supporting pre-chorus and chorus; add playful two-part harmony on the final chorus.
- Ad-libs: short, playful ad-libs in the post-chorus (e.g., giggles, “¡sí!”) performed by children’s choir to keep it organic.
VOCAL DIRECTION
- Main vocal: Female child voice (6–9 years), sweet, rhythmic, confident — clear enunciation and joyful timbre.
- Backing vocals: Children’s choir supporting pre-chorus & chorus; use unison backing on most lines and 2-part harmony on final chorus.
- Delivery: bright, smiling tone; rhythmic push on the rhythmically playful parts (voy, voy, voy / late-on-on).
- Emphasize syllable separation on the hook: Ma-hi-a / co-ra-zón (counted and slightly spaced so each syllable pops).
- Performance tips: encourage the child singer to physically move while singing to create natural breathy energy and playful pronunciation for TikTok visuals.
- Call & response: make the Post-Chorus responses punchy and slightly behind the beat for a friendly conversational feel.
