Melendi has made a curious (although logical) request to his entire audience about one of the songs in his repertoire. Because the Asturian artist has asked that one of his most popular songs never be heard again. The reason? As simple as that We will return It was a hit that the man from Oviedo composed to encourage the blue fans in their search for return to the first division from the bottom of Spanish football, something that occurred last Saturday, June 21, 2025.
The promotion of Real Oviedo to the First Division It has left an indelible mark for Carbayones fans, but it has also marked a turning point in the club's musical history. “I hope it's the last time we sing, even if I throw stones at my own roof, it's the last time the Volveremos will be sung,” he said during an interview on Cadena SER.
A song that has represented something very special to him for many years: “It is one of the most exciting things that has happened to me in my life that 'Volveremos' is part of the people. When I sang it last year at the Tartiere… No concert was as important as that song for me.”

Now that the artist no longer wants to hear about We will returnit is time for the centenary anthem, also composed by him, to take over. That song that his own daughter made viral a few weeks ago, showing that it is also catching on among Oviedo fans and among the younger public. Because when you sing from passion and feeling, the result is almost guaranteed.
Melendi and the centenary anthem
And this new stage also has its own soundtrack. Coinciding with the centenary of Real Oviedo, Melendi has composed a new official anthem that has been received with enthusiasm by the fans. Simply titled “Hala Real Oviedo”, the song was released in March of this year and has been performed on several occasions in the stadium, including the promotion playoff final.
The new anthem maintains the artist's characteristic epic and emotional tone, but with a more celebratory and less nostalgic approach. “It's not just a shield, it's true love,” Melendi sings in one of the verses most chanted by the fans. The song has been described as the natural successor to Volveremos, but with a clear message: Oviedo no longer dreams of returning, now it dreams of staying.
The centenary anthem, composed by Melendistands out for its emotional lyrics and its connection with the history and fans of Real Oviedo. The song mentions historical players and emblematic places in the city, and reflects the deep love and pride that Melendi feels for her homeland and that she has passed on to her daughter who has assumed it as her own.
This is how Melendi found out in the middle of the concert
A topic that we are sure will become viral, as was the reaction Melendi had on stage when he found out that the team of his life and loves had returned to the first division of Spanish football: “We're back. Now it's time to stay,” he said in a video that already has millions of views.
