"You in Menorca and I in L'Escala / but we bathe in the same sea. / I let the salt water pamper me if you're not here / When I wait for you back / you'll have to come find me." So goes the chorus of the song. You in Menorca and me in L'Escala, a song Suu wrote for her girlfriend, Mire.

They met in the summer of 2020, while filming a show that Mago Pop was recording at his home, where Suu was invited to sing. Mire was in the audience, wearing a hat, and the singer caught her attention. "She was the only one who congratulated me on the performance: she gave off a really good energy. Then I racked my brains looking for her on Instagram, but there was no way. I thought I'd never find her," explains the singer. Until, surprised, she saw a message from her in her mailbox. "It turns out we even lived in the same neighborhood," says Suu. They agreed to meet up, and after a month and a half, they were sharing an apartment.

"We were a couple for three years. The romantic relationship ended, but not the love, and now we're friends. We get along very well and we have a dog with shared custody, Sushi," explains the singer, about her ex-girlfriend with whom, she says, she has had the healthiest relationship of her life.

"A few months ago I suffered a heartbreak and now I want to be alone and work hard on myself. If love comes, let it be calm," says Suu, who admits that she has historically had "an addiction to the infatuation phase." "When I fall in love, I am very intense. I fall in love very, very quickly and sometimes it doesn't last long. I am in the process of working on not being addicted to principles, and valuing other things within love than just the initial dopamine. The problem is that I look for emotions that give me stories, and I wish that weren't the case." "Many times my pattern was to look for people who genuinely didn't want to be with me, because it was comfortable for me to work from a place of longing, melancholy, and heartbreak," she notes.

That's why, she says, heartbreak has taught her a lot about love. "Now I know what I want and what I don't." Her experience has also taught her that communicating with girls is much easier. "I've been with one girl and three boys. I think things are easier among girls and there are fewer battles over who's right." Because of all this, for her, love must now be "a safe space and a calm place."
