"Hasta la Raíz" is a song by Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade, composed and musicalized by Lafourcade and Leonel García, and originally included in Lafourcade’s fifth studio album, which bears the same name.

The song was released on January 6, 2015 for download in digital stores, becoming the album’s first promotional cut. It quickly ranked at the top of the Latin American charts. It is produced by Cachorro López and Natalia with Sony Music.
The theme was written after a period of personal searches of Lafourcade, in which she traveled through different countries of Latin America in search of inspiration, material and roots of her identity. These three years of searching resulted in this important pop culture song.
 
"I like the solitude. I have learned that life continues after a relationship, it is inevitable to feel vertigo, but when you break and get up, it makes you stronger"
 Natalia Lafourcade.

Natalia Lafourcade focused on what she wanted to say and not on what she wanted to sell or how she would receive criticism. Maybe that’s why, being such an honest record, people will identify more. But she decided to save "To the Root" to talk about herself:
 
"I wanted to make a song about the origin, about the things that build you and allow you to be who you are. When we finished it, I saw that it was the reflection of who I am now, the one that summarizes what I have been living and what I am ready to live. It is the hymn of my life"

This is why we identify with the song and why we like it so much, because we are beings that enclose fears, love, heartbreak, roots, dreams and the uncertainty of the future.

Lyrics.-
 
Sigo cruzando ríos
Andando selvas, amando el sol
Cada día sigo sacando espinas
De lo profundo del corazón
En la noche sigo encendiendo sueños
Para limpiar con el humo sagrado cada recuerdo

Cuando escriba tu nombre
En la arena blanca con fondo azul
Cuando mire el cielo en la forma cruel
De una nube gris, aparezcas tú
Y una tarde suba una alta loma
Mire el pasado, sabrás que no
Te he olvidado

Yo te llevo dentro, hasta la raíz
Y por más que crezca, vas a estar aquí
Aunque yo me oculte tras la montaña
Y encuentre un campo lleno de caña
No habrá manera, ni rayo de luna
Que tú te vayas

Uoh-uh-oh-oh
Uoh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Uoh-uh-oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Pienso que cada instante sobrevivido al caminar
Y cada segundo de incertidumbre
Cada momento de no saber
Son la clave exacta de este tejido
Que ando cargando bajo la piel
Así te protejo, aquí sigues dentro

Yo te llevo dentro, hasta la raíz
Y por más que crezca, vas a estar aquí
Aunque yo me oculte tras la montaña
Y encuentre un campo lleno de caña
No habrá manera, ni rayo de luna
Que tú te vayas, que tu te vayas

Yo te llevo dentro, hasta la raíz
Y por más que crezca, vas a estar aquí
Aunque yo me oculte tras la montaña
Y encuentre un campo lleno de caña
No habrá manera, ni rayo de luna
Que tú te vayas, que tu te vayas

Oh-uh-oh, uh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh, uh-oh-oh, oh
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-uh-oh, uh-oh-oh, oh (Oh-uh-oh)
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-uh-oh)
Oh-uh-oh, uh-oh-oh, oh (Oh-uh-oh)
Oh-uh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh-uh-oh)

Yo te llevo dentro, hasta la raíz
Y por más que crezca, vas a estar aquí
Aunque yo me oculte tras la montaña
Encuentre un campo lleno de caña
No habrá manera, ni rayo de luna
Que tú te vayas
