MEXICO CITY (JULY 18, 2025) – Sometimes the heart also needs a pause, a respite, a break. Raúl Vega’s new single, “La dieta” is born in that spirit. It’s a sierreño ballad that transforms heartbreak into metaphor and sadness into poetry. The song represents a new stage for the young artist, who has become one of the most authentic and sensitive voices of the new wave of regional Mexican music.
“Me pusieron a dieta en el amor, porque ando pasadito de lágrimas” which means “They put me on a love diet because I’m so teary-eyed” is the phrase that gives meaning to the song: a confession that sounds like a joke, but hides a profound emotional truth. With this line, Raúl Vega captures that mix of irony, vulnerability, and heartbreak that characterizes those who love intensely… and also suffer with all their hearts.

Backed by Double P Records, “La dieta” offers a minimalist and melancholic production that gives prominence to the lyrics and the performance. The sierreño sound—with acoustic guitars, clean harmonies, and painful silences—frames a story of emotional grief told with honesty, without forced drama, without posturing.
This song connects with a generation that is no longer afraid to talk about mental health, emotional boundaries, breakups, and the need to distance oneself in order to heal. Raúl Vega sings what many feel, but few say out loud. And he does so without disguising the pain, but also without romanticizing it.
“La dieta” aligns with the introspective and sentimental style of figures like Peso Pluma and Jasiel Nuñez, but takes it to his own creative universe. The song is part of a movement that focuses on telling real stories, from the soul, without losing the essence of regional Mexican music.
Plus, the track is perfect for moments of reflection or relief on playlists like Triste Sierreño, Sad Regional, Dale Play Norteño, or Regional en tu Feelings. Whether with a tear, a memory, or a drink in hand, “La dieta” is that song that plays when the heart needs to close cycles and learn to be alone.
With this release, Raúl Vega reaffirms his place in the current scene as an artist who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable, and who uses music not only as an expression, but as a form of catharsis. “La dieta” isn’t just a song: it’s a clear message for those who have loved so much that they forgot about themselves.
The track is now available on all digital platforms.
