The Theme Song for La Casa de Papel Is a Spotify Hit
Spanish singer Cecilia Krull's song "My Life Is Going On" serves as the theme song for the Netflix series La Casa de Papel/Money Heist.
Here's a breakdown of the song's lyrics and its meaning.
Considering how action-packed Netflix's La Casa de Papel/Money Heist is, you'd be surprised how peaceful and calming the show's theme song is.
Spanish singer Cecilia Krull was chosen to create a song specifically for the show after Spanish composer Manel Santisteban reached out to her. While he wrote the music, she wrote the lyrics for "My Life Is Going On."
"I gained inspiration by the character of Tokyo [Úrsula Corberó], when I first saw images from the first episode," she told SounDarts.gr. "I knew and felt that the series would be great! But we never expected that huge and worldwide success! It's amazing!"
The official music video for the song has over 48 million views on YouTube and it has been played on Spotify more than 180 million times. Needless to say, it's a hit!
The first two seasons of La Casa de Papel/Money Heist featured the song playing against a paper model of the Royal Mint of Spain—the original setting for the show.
They switched it up for part 3, and the song now plays against a paper model of the Bank of Spain—the new location for the series.
If you listen to the song carefully and read the lyrics, it's all about trusting yourself and living life on your own terms. Besides standing up against the government and being the resistance, La Casa de Papel/Money Heist is about the thieves taking life by the horns and doing whatever they want. Considering Krull said she was inspired by Tokyo, who is known for following her gut and not caring about the consequences, it's only fitting that the meaning of "My Life Is Going On" speaks to that.

If I stay with you, if I'm choosing wrong
I don't care at all
If I'm losing now, but I'm winning late
That's all I want
Now we need some space, 'cause I feel for you
And I wanna change
Growing up alone, it seems so short
I can't explain
Whatever happens in the future, trust in destiny
Don't try to make anything else even when you feel
I don't care at all
I am lost
I don't care at all
Lost my time, my life is going on
I will be so strong, looking for a new version of myself
Cause now all I want is to be a part of my new world
Whatever happens in the future, trust in destiny
Don't try to make anything else even when you feel
I don't care at all
I am lost
I don't care at all
Why not have it all
I am lone
I don't care at all
Lost my time, my life is going on
