"Del Otro Lado" was one of the songs Lali debuted live at her first solo concert atLa Trastienda Club on 3 September 2013.[1] Along with "A Bailar" and "Asesina", it marked the launch of her solo career following her time in the pop groupTeen Angels.

"Del Otro Lado" is a dramaticpop ballad that explores the emotional aftermath of a breakup from a woman's perspective. The lyrics reflect the silence, pain, and emotional emptiness left after love ends. The track usespoeticimagery such as "tu cielo me arrasó, mi vestido rompió" ("your sky devastated me, tore my dress") and "la flor que había en él conmigo lloró" ("the flower on it cried with me") to convey vulnerability and heartbreak. The repeated refrain "del otro lado estoy" ("I'm on the other side") reinforces the feeling of separation and emotional distance.[3][4]
The official music video for "Del Otro Lado", released on 10 March 2015, features a sensual and emotional visual narrative.[5][6][3][4][7]It opens with Lali lying alone in bed, soon joined by a man with whom she shares intimate and passionate moments. The relationship quickly turns sour, and the storyline ends with a dramatic breakup scene in which Lali throws objects—like flowers and a vase—at her fictional partner.[3] The video's tone reflects the heartbreak described in the lyrics.
Several media outlets highlighted the clip's sensuality and noted its similarities toTaylor Swift's "Blank Space", particularly in the way it portrays a relationship that moves from romance to chaos.[3] The video premiered with an exclusive fan event inBuenos Aires and became atrending topic onTwitter and a top-viewed video onYouTube Argentina.[5][4]
