The official video for 'Ojitos Mentirosos' features Chino Pacas in an environment that fuses urban aesthetics with traditional elements of regional Mexican music. From the very first shot, a nighttime atmosphere is perceived, illuminated by neon lights and lanterns that hint at melancoly. The artist appears surrounded by his band, wielding the tuba and tololoche characteristic of corrido tumbado, while the camera alternates between close-ups of his performance and panoramic shots of the neighborhood, reinforcing the connection between popular roots and the modernity that defines his musical proposal.

The lyrics of the song revolve around a deceitful love, symbolized by those 'ojitos mentirosos' that promised genuine feelings but ultimately revealed deception. Chino Pacas delivers each verse with a mix of disdain and nostalgia; his gestures and the energy of the instrumental accompaniment underscore the duality of pain and cathartic release that the theme reflects. The phrases allude to shared memories, misunderstandings, and broken promises, while the rhythmic cadence, sustained by the bass line and brass instruments, captivates the listener in an emotional ebb and flow.

Visually, the clip intersperses scenes of everyday life—cobblestone streets, classic cars, colorful murals—with more intimate moments where the singer addresses the camera as if confessing his wounds. The use of warm tones contrasts with splashes of cool colors that emphasize the ambiguity between affection and resentment. Some slowed-down frames highlight the protagonist's gaze, a recurring symbol that alludes to the title, reinforcing the idea that the eyes of the loved one were the gateway to a lie.

Musically, the single utilizes the foundation of corridos tumbados, combining requinto guitars and mountain harmonies with soft percussion and accordion arrangements. This blend gives it a contemporary feel without losing the raw essence of the genre. The chorus becomes catchy thanks to a melodic hook that Chino Pacas holds with a raspy tone, making the lyrics stick in the memory and easily sung along in live performances.

The video concludes with one last direct look at the camera, followed by a sudden blackout that leaves the final chords resonating in silence. With this, Chino Pacas emphasizes the fragility of promises and solidifies 'Ojitos Mentirosos' as a piece that, in addition to narrating a personal story of deceit, reaffirms his identity within the movement that is renewing regional Mexican music
