NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 10, 2023) — “Ser una mujer es todo una guerra (Being a woman is constantly having to go to battle),” asserts Veronique Medrano in her new single “¡Que Hueva!” releasing today (Mother’s Day in Mexico), with an uncensored version arriving May 26.
Written in response to the Supreme Court strike down of Roe v. Wade precedent and the ensuing attacks on women, Medrano delivers an inspiring rally cry combining her original Spanish Tejano Country artistry and Honky Tonk flair with songwriting styling echoing Julieta Venegas, Shakira, and Juanes.
Medrano says, “Country/Roots music, like Tejano, has always held a place for political and social commentary on the world around us. This song was that for me. When Roe V. Wade fell, this song just came forth because of the resounding commentary and voices of women who are exhausted waking up every day with a new battle against our person. And so from the simple phrase ‘Que Hueva’ came to life a powerful and joyous rally cry to those in our lives who are done being bite sized and shrinking down to their most desired parts.”
Adding, “The dual meaning of the lyrics, in Spanish, allows the listener to see the role society puts on us versus the ways we subvert that. A woman has the right to choose the role she wishes, to engage the world around her, and women tend to be the unsung hero of a home. This song is for them, and for the fighting spirit within us all, to live beyond the constructs of gender that society deems appropriate.”
The bilingual singer-songwriter’s star is on the rise — the South Texas native just inked a deal with Cricket Wireless to serve as the brand’s inaugural ambassador representing Cricket Comunidad in the Rio Grande Valley and major cities including San Antonio, Austin, and Houston.
The ambassadorship rounds out a productive month for Medrano, who followed a week at Country Radio Seminar in Nashville with a formal signing to performance rights organization BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.).

“¡Que Hueva!” Lyrics (English and Spanish):
Que hueva tengo
(To wash the dishes)
Pa lavar los trastes
Que hueva tengo
(Having to run all over the place)
andar por todas partes
Que hueva tengo
Que hueva tengo
(To wash the dishes)
Pa lavar los trastes
(Every day the news)
Cada dia las noticias
(get uglier and uglier)
son mas feas
(Makes me want to drink)
Nomas quiero tomar
(an ice cold beer)
me una chela
(Being a woman nowadays)
Ser una mujer
(is constantly having to go to battle)
Es todo una guerra
(That’s why your opinions are worth nothing more than)
Por eso tu opinion me vale
(lard to make my tortillas)
manteca para las tortillas
(refried beans with Panela)
Frijoles refritos
Con Panela
(If you still come up to me to say)
Y si me dices
(I’d look prettier)
Que me veo mas bonita
(If I just kept my mouth shut)
Calladita
(I’ll split you right in the lip)
Te parto el osi
(Best to not mess with me)
Conmigo no te metas (hablada)
Que hueva tengo
(To wash the dishes)
Pa lavar los trastes
Que hueva tengo
(Having to run all over the place)
andar por todas partes
Que hueva tengo
Que hueva tengo
(To wash the dishes)
Pa lavar los trastes
(Every day the news)
Cada dia las noticias
(gets uglier and uglier)
son mas feas
(Makes me want to curl)
Nomas quiero echar
(back in bed and nap)
me una siesta
(Being a woman nowadays)
Ser una mujer
(is constantly having to go to battle)
Es todo una guerra
(That’s why)
Por eso
(I’m gonna break your eggs)
te voy a quebrar los huevos
(with a side of chorizo)
con chorizo
(A cup a coffee with a marranito)
Un cafe para el marranito
(And if you thought I was prettier)
Y Si me veias
(skinnier than how I look now)
Mas bonita flaquita
(I’ll send you on over to... Chihuahua)
te mando a la chihuahua
Que hueva tengo
(To wash the dishes)
Pa lavar los trastes
Que hueva tengo
(Having to Run all over the place)
andar por todas partes
Que hueva tengo
Que hueva tengo
(To wash the dishes)
Pa lavar los trastes
(You know what… go wash em yourself)
Lavalos tu pen…
(What did you think.. I was gonna say..)
Sastre que hiba decir
(Rooster sound)
Ahuuua
