So when she stepped onto the Latin GRAMMYS stage to receive her Song Of The Year trophy, she delivered a heartfelt speech about what the moment meant for her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only thing I want to say is that lately everyone has an opinion, lately there are so many people giving their opinions about what people should or shouldn&#8217;t do, what they should wear, what they shouldn&#8217;t wear, how they should come, how they should do whatever,&#8221; the now eight-time Latin GRAMMY winner said in Spanish. &#8220;And in a way, I started to feel that everything I was doing stopped being right, that I was losing my magic, that I was losing my charm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the singer shared, she was able to tune out the negativity to create Tropicoqueta, which features &#8220;Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido&#8221;: &#8220;The only thing that was left from all that for me was going back to my roots, back to the intention and the purpose \u2014 that I do what I do because I love it, because I enjoy it, and because I was born to do it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This award is giving me the opportunity to say it,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I&#8217;m not saying it for myself, I&#8217;m saying it because there are so many people at home thinking they&#8217;re not good enough or not professional enough to do what they want to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the vibrant energy of the Dominican Republic and paying tribute to merengue and mambo, &#8220;Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido&#8221; is a lyrical reflection on how life might have been if love had arrived sooner. But while the song asks &#8220;What would have been If I had met you before?,&#8221; Karol G urged those listening to trust their instincts and take chances.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Forget about the world, forget about the noise, and when you stop worrying about other people&#8217;s opinions, the only things left are love and passion \u2014 beyond talent, passion and obsession for what you&#8217;ve done,&#8221; she declared.<\/p>\n<p>And as if receiving the Song Of The Year honor wasn&#8217;t special enough, as Karol G pointed out, this year&#8217;s category included &#8220;impressive people.&#8221; &#8220;Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido&#8221; won over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latingrammy.com\/en\/artists\/bad-bunny\/35119-01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bad Bunny&#8217;<\/a>s &#8220;BAILE INoLVIDABLE&#8221; and &#8220;DtMF,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grammy.com\/news\/ca7riel-paco-amoroso-interview-new-album-tour-tiny-desk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CA7RIEL &amp; Paco Amoroso&#8217;<\/a>s &#8220;El D\u00eda del Amigo&#8221; and &#8220;#Tetas,&#8221; Natalia Lafourcade&#8217;s &#8220;Cancionera,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latingrammy.com\/artistas\/mon-laferte\/31731-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mon Laferte&#8217;<\/a>s &#8220;Otra Noche de Llorar,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latingrammy.com\/artistas\/andres-cepeda\/19554-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andr\u00e9s Cepeda<\/a>&#8216;s &#8220;Bogot\u00e1,&#8221; &#8220;Palmeras en el Jard\u00edn&#8221; by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latingrammy.com\/artistas\/alejandro-sanz\/22652-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alejandro Sanz<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latingrammy.com\/en\/artists\/liniker\/35349-01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liniker&#8217;<\/a>s &#8220;Veludo Marrom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More 2026 GRAMMYS News &amp; Updates<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Karol G added two more golden gramophones to her collection at the 2025 Latin GRAMMYS thanks to &#8220;Si&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":378016,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[181507,171,58740,176372,975,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-378015","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-2025-latin-grammys-alejandro-sanz-wins-record-of-the-year-for-palmeras-en-el-jardin-grammy-com","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-grammy","11":"tag-grammy-com","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115547367363432051","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378015","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
