Background

At the time of writing this song, Laferte went through depression caused by the rupture of the relationship with her partner, which led her to think about suicide. [2] As she explained in an interview: "I wrote about how I felt and walked there the melody as spinning in my head". [2]

On 30 August 2014, Laferte launched through her official YouTube account the first version of the song, in which we see the singer-songwriter next to her guitar performing the song acoustically in her living room. [3] It was performed with the help of her friends, who recorded this version of the song with the phone, and one of them asked if she could upload it to YouTube, to which Laferte replied: "if no one is going to see it." Soon this video became increasingly popular with respect to the rest of the videos on its channel. [2] It currently has over 513 million views. [3]

On 31 January 2015, she released the album Mon Laferte Vol. 1 , which includes the song. On August 21 of that same year, the album was relaunched and remastered, this time through Universal Music, where a new version of "Tu Falta de Querer" was included, which was differentiated by the change of a guitar solo by piano one.

Music video

The video was released on 14 October 2015, through the Laferte's VEVO channel, becoming a trend and one of the most-watched videos of a Chilean singer. As of January 2020, it reached over 320 million views on the YouTube platform, this being its first VEVO Certified. [4]

The music video juxtaposes funeral and wedding imagery, showing Mon Laferte dressed as a bride, accompanied by a funerary march, on a tour of the Cerro de San Pedro in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, finally being burned in effigy as she sings the final chorus in tears.
