The music video for this song features many memorable moments spent by Ramos in the Real jersey, as well as the sculpture. And the lyrics are written about Ramos’ regrets leaving Real. After the song was released on Ramos’ YouTube channel, the video has been watched by about 2.46 million viewers as of 9 am on Wednesday. The 39-year-old Ramos is now the captain of Mexican club Monterrey. He led the team to a 4-2 win over Puebla in a league match last week. Ramos took time out from his busy football schedule to record the song. After releasing this song, Ramos is now quite confident about his music career. He even believes that he will win one of the highest music awards, the ‘Grammy Award’, before winning the Champions League as a coach.
In an interview with Spanish TV show El Hormiguero on Monday, Ramos said the song was written about the pain of leaving Real Madrid in 2021. “I’m an optimist. I always tell everyone to dream. I also imagine winning the Champions League as a coach. But before that, I see myself winning a Grammy,” Ramos said. “At this time in my life, I want to make music. I want to share my experiences with people. In the next five to seven years, I will be more deeply involved with music. Because in music, you can make music, but you can also stay at home. You can do your own work and spend time with your family.”
Regarding his song, Ramos said, “It’s actually a love song. Is there any relationship without pain and suffering? I wrote 60 percent of it when I went to Paris. Because that’s how I felt. Leaving Madrid hurt me. It’s not easy to leave the best club in the world.’
Ramos has built small studios in his homes in Seville and Madrid. He said that his attraction to music is very old, ‘It’s part of our lives. No event, birthday or Christmas – in the end, everyone sits down with a guitar and sings. Football hasn’t given me time for music for so long. Now I want to make music in harmony with football, and create good songs with the best people.’
Ramos has won 22 titles, including La Liga five times and the Champions League four times, for Real Madrid. After giving the club unforgettable memories since the age of 16, he joined PSG in 2021. From there, he returned to his childhood club Sevilla and joined Mexican club Monterrey.
