Low Clika Drops "Me Dice Que No," the Final Single Before Their Debut Album
The LA-based Música Mexicana group closes out their pre-album run with a new single and music video, following a Premios Juventud nomination.

Low Clika has released "Me Dice Que No," the last single before their upcoming album. The track marks the end of a series of singles the group has been dropping in the lead-up to the project.
The song centers on the emotional tension of returning to a relationship you know is over, specifically the pull between knowing better and doing it anyway. It is the kind of subject matter that does not need much explaining, which is probably why it works.
Along with the audio, Low Clika released an official music video that puts that internal conflict on screen. Members of the group face masked figures in a series of confrontations meant to represent their own inner demons. The opposing sides are dressed in black and white, standing in for the two forces that tend to show up after a breakup: the part ready to move on and the part still looking back.
The release lands at a notable point for the group. Low Clika were recently nominated for Premios Juventud in the "New Generation, Mexican Music" category. On August 6, the same day the single dropped, they performed at Foro Indie Rocks! in Mexico City, one of the country's better-known independent music venues.
For independent artists working in Música Mexicana or any genre with a growing US and Latin fanbase, Low Clika's path here is worth paying attention to. They built toward this album release through a deliberate single rollout, landed a major award nomination in the process, and paired the final drop with a live performance. That kind of coordinated momentum does not happen by accident.
Low Clika is based in Los Angeles. Their upcoming album does not yet have a release date listed in the announcement. Follow them at @lowclika across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
