What does Hasta los dientes mean? Learn Spanish through one of Latin pop’s most relatable jealousy anthems

Have you ever been jealous of someone’s past, even though you know you shouldn’t be?

Psychologists often call it retroactive jealousy—the anxiety that comes from imagining your partner’s previous relationships. That’s exactly what “Hasta Los Dientes” explores. Instead of accusing her partner, the narrator admits that the problem isn’t him—it’s her own imagination, constantly replaying scenes from a relationship that already ended.

Released in 2022, the collaboration between Camila Cabello and Argentine superstar María Becerra blends bilingual pop with Latin urban influences. Their chemistry makes the song feel like an honest confession rather than a dramatic breakup anthem, which is one reason it resonated with so many listeners.

For Spanish learners, the song is full of modern slang, everyday expressions, emotional vocabulary, and colloquial grammar that native speakers actually use.

About the song

Hasta Los Dientes was released as part of Camila Cabello’s third studio album, Familia. The album celebrates Camila’s Cuban heritage while mixing English and Spanish influences, making it one of her most personal projects.

The collaboration with María Becerra added an authentic Argentine urban-pop flavor to the song. Rather than telling a story about betrayal, the lyrics focus on insecurity and overthinking—a surprisingly vulnerable perspective that many listeners relate to.

The title itself is an idiomatic expression. While hasta los dientes literally means “up to the teeth,” in this song it’s part of the phrase “me duelen hasta los dientes,” meaning “I hurt so much that even my teeth hurt.” It’s a dramatic way of saying emotional pain is affecting your whole body.
