In addition, the young woman recalls in this interview that as a child she was a very active girl, who “liked to play children’s things.” “In my childhood in the countryside, I was always riding a quad that my father had bought me, or I went fishing with him, adventure things amused me,” he says, a trait of his crazy character that can also be observed in each of her performances, in which she gives absolutely her all.
About her beginnings, Mena assures that she remembers very well where she comes from, and that in moments of success you have to know how to play with your feet on the ground.

The young woman herself admits that most of her lyrics are usually written after someone breaks her heart. “I have admired Shakira all my life, although I don’t know if I would be capable of launching such an explicit song, I usually take it more to romanticism,” says the artist, referring to the Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53, in the one that the Colombian mentions to her ex-partner, Gerard Piqué, and to his current partner, Clara ChÃa.
In addition, he acknowledges that throughout his life he has encountered “galactic cocoons.” “Several, several, a few!” He reveals to the aforementioned medium.
