Olga Lucía Vives Bares Her Soul in Her New Single “Amiga” An Open Letter About Betrayal
The Colombian artist Olga Lucía Vives released “Amiga,” her third single as a solo artist. This song marks the end of the first stage of her solo musical project: an intimate offering inspired by her personal letters and real-life experiences, translated into music and audiovisual language.
“Amiga” is not just a pop song with a catchy melody; it is catharsis made into a song, written by Olga herself as a way to heal a wound that few dare to share: the loss of a friendship because of shared love. “They always talk about heartbreak, about the pain of a breakup, but no one teaches you how to get over the loss of a friend. And when it's because of betrayal, it hurts even more,” Olga confesses. The story behind “Amiga” is a real and deeply personal episode that Olga experienced with someone close to her, whose betrayal left an emotional mark that was difficult to erase.
The song was produced by a prominent team from the music scene: Pablo Dazán, Aníbal De Los Reyes, Ricardo Campillo, and Daniel Jaller, who successfully captured a sound full of honesty and emotion, matching the intimate narrative proposed by Olga.
The music video, like the two previous releases “Veneno” and “Si No Te Quise,” was directed by Kath D. (Kath Díaz), who has been a fundamental part of the visual component of this artistic era. The entire audiovisual series was filmed in Santa Marta, Colombia, Olga Lucía's hometown, intentionally chosen as the setting to connect with her roots and visually reflect the emotional process she narrates throughout the three chapters.
“The song began as a letter I wrote to express all my feelings. It helped me heal, but I still dreamed about her. Then, one day, after months of silence, I received a missed call from her... That's when I realized I had to let go. That's how ‘Amiga’ was born,” Olga recounts.
“Amiga” honestly portrays what it means to see someone you trusted deeply break a pact that seemed unbreakable. It is a call to all those who have experienced a silent loss and did not know how to name it.
