The Warning and Carín León didn’t just cross genres, they tore the walls down entirely. The rock sister-trio from Monterrey, Mexico release “Love To Be Loved” today via Lava/Republic Records, a collaborative single and music video that blends country, rock, and pop with the kind of ease that only happens when the chemistry between artists is completely genuine. It also marks a historic first for fresh Grammy winner Carín León, his first-ever collaborative release sung entirely in English.
The track was co-written by The Warning alongside Teddy Swims, Rob Grimaldi, Anton DeLost, Boy Matthews, and Neil Ormandy, with Grimaldi and DeLost producing. Carín opens the song with an emotionally charged verse, his heartbroken delivery resting against crunching power chords and The Warning’s thick, Richter Scale-worthy rhythm section. Vocalist and guitarist Dany Villarreal then carries the chantable chorus with real force. The result is a song that feels fresh rather than calculated, two distinct worlds finding genuine common ground.
Carín puts the collaboration in its proper cultural context: “I deeply admire The Warning, a band that reaffirms to me that Mexican music and Mexican rock are far from dead, they’re more present and stronger than ever.” The Warning echoes that sentiment, noting that working with a fellow Mexican artist made the creative push even more meaningful. The cinematic video drives the feeling home, setting Carín and the sisters in a gritty dive bar where card games and pool games distract from the real search underneath: love.
“Love To Be Loved” is also available as a limited edition 7-inch single. With The Warning confirmed as NFL Mexico special guests at the Super Bowl, and more music promised for 2026, this collaboration arrives as the opening move in what looks like a significant year ahead for the Monterrey rock sisters.
