Maná‘s iconic song “Oye Mi Amor” has taken on a new twist after being included in Dua Lipa‘s new album Live From Mexico City, released Friday (May 22). The legendary track by the Mexican rock band is now part of the British superstar’s material, recorded last December during the final leg of her Radical Optimism Tour in Mexico.

“Singing ‘Oye Mi Amor’ with an international artist with the caliber of Dua Lipa was very special,” Maná’s vocalist Fher Olvera said in a video shared by his press office in Mexico. “It’s an emblematic song for Maná, for the fans, and it’s been a fundamental song in our career. It’s a track that transcended boundaries and reached many parts of the world. Many people who don’t speak Spanish, who speak other languages, have embraced it as part of the soundtrack of their lives.”
“It’s a source of pride for us, for me, for all Mexicans, to be able to share this Mexican, Latin music with all our fans around the world,” Olvera added in the video, speaking about the only track on the album not drawn from Lipa’s own catalog.
“Oye mi amor” was written by Olvera and drummer Álex González and featured in Maná’s celebrated 1992 album ¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños? as its second single. It’s considered a classic in the repertoire of the band from Guadalajara, as well as a very popular song in Latin America’s musical canon.
The track by Lipa and Olvera captures the Mexican musician’s participation in her second concert at the iconic GNP Seguros Stadium on December 2, 2025 in Mexico City — where the two turned the venue into a massive karaoke event celebrating one of the most iconic Spanish-language rock bands in the world, as reported by Billboard.
“Tonight we are very lucky because we have someone very special who is going to sing with us,” Lipa expressed in Spanish before introducing Olvera, who stepped onto the stage amid a storm of applause. The crowd’s ovation grew louder when the unmistakable guitar chords of the song began to play.
The “Oye Mi Amor” cover came the day after Dua Lipa performed Consuelito Velázquez’s classic “Bésame Mucho” during the first of three concerts that made up the Mexican leg of her Radical Optimism Tour. On December 5, she also delighted local fans with a rendition of Selena’s iconic “Amor Prohibido.”

The close of her world tour in Mexico, now immortalized in the album and concert film Live From Mexico City, adds to the love story between Dua Lipa and the Latin American country, where she had previously performed in 2017 at the Corona Capital festival and in 2022 at the Foro Sol (now GNP Seguros Stadium).
