"It's Never Enough") is a song by Mexican recording artist Natalia Lafourcade from her fifth studio album Hasta la Raíz (2015).
A cumbia version of the song was released in 2018 with Mexican group Los Ángeles Azules, to great commercial success.
The version won Regional Mexican Song of the Year at the 2020 Billboard Latin Music Awards.
The album came after Lafourcade explored Lara's catalog for a performance finding a deep connection to his work.
[2][3] Her following album, Hasta la Raíz, was released in 2015 after a year where Lafourcade visited different places including Veracruz, Colombia, and Cuba seeking peace and inspiration for the writing process.
[7] Mexico and Lara's music as well as various Latin American songwriters like Violeta Parra, Caetano Veloso, Chavela Vargas, Simón Diaz and Mercedes Sosa, served as inspirations for the composition of Hasta la Raíz.
[9] Described by Lafourcade as "honest and easy", the song deals with the emotions towards a dysfunctional relationship and the dissatisfaction that comes from wanting more than what it offers.
[11][1] Matt Hobbs from WePlugGoodMusic described the song as "an intelligent mix of mid-tempo reggae rhythms and a consistent acoustic energy wrapped in a bossa nova environment".
[16] The music video for the song was directed by Martín Bautista from the production company Los Maestros and was shot in Mexico.
[17] It stars Lafourcade alongside actors Diana Lein, Gustavo Sánchez Parra and Tenoch Huerta portraying two couples at contrasting points of their relationships.
While Lein and Sánchez Parra play a happy, loving couple, Lafourcade and Huerta fight and argue.
[33] Recorded at Progreso, Yucatán and directed by Diego Álvarez, the video surpassed a billion views in 2020, making Los Ángeles Azules the first Mexican group to achieve that.
