"Si te quedas" (If You Stay) is the new musical offering from Mikalley, an emerging artist on the Spanish independent scene whose work blends hip-hop, urban music, and electronic sounds. With an intimate and emotional style, the musician has forged a unique identity through tracks like "Saeta," "Rodeo," "Ciego," "Amor y Plata," and "Guanabi."

The song unfolds from an introspective and self-reflective perspective. Its lyrics revolve around a phrase that repeats like a mantra: "I don't know where I'm going, I don't want to know." This confession conveys a disquieting sense of vulnerability and accompanies a narrative marked by uncertainty, personal quests, and the need to move forward even without knowing the destination.

Directed by Faustina Cabrera and filmed in Madrid, the music video for "Si te quedas" visually delves into this process of self-discovery. Through a cinematic aesthetic and a sensitive narrative, the piece portrays an artist attempting to reconnect with fragments of her past to find her own path.

The journey begins in the intimacy of her home, where she looks through an old family photo album. This initial gesture triggers an emotional voyage that leads her to revisit memories and objects laden with meaning.

Forgotten albums, vases, embroidered shawls, and other characteristic elements of her grandparents' house become signposts that guide her search. The journey culminates at the Zarzuela Hippodrome, an emblematic work of Madrid architecture, where past and present converge in an encounter that symbolizes the reconciliation between both worlds.
