"Lejos del Cielo" (transl. "Far from Heaven") is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro for his third studio album, Saturno (2022). It was written by Alejandro, while the production was handled by Mr. Naisgai, Kenobi, and Alejandro. The song was released for digital download and streaming by Sony Music Latin and Duars Entertainment on November 10, 2022, as the third single from the album. A Spanish language slow reggaeton romantic song, it portrays the desperation of losing a beloved woman.
"Lejos del Cielo" received positive reviews from music critics, who described it as "lofty" and "great". The track reached number one in Dominican Republic. It debuted in the top 15 of the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and was certified gold in Spain. An accompanying music video, released simultaneously with the song, was directed by Stillz. It depicts Alejandro as a worker in another planet. One night, he turns off the energy of the entire city to concentrate it on an intense electric light that illuminates the sky, as if he made contact with an extraterrestrial ship. For further promotion, Alejandro performed the song at the 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards.
