The song "El Celular" by Espinoza Paz tells the story of a person who uses their cellphone to impress others and tries to show off their material possessions. They claim to have everything, even if they don't actually possess much, just their cellphone. The lyrics express the desire to appear successful and impressive when in the presence of someone they are interested in. However, the song takes a turn when they explain that if this person ever wanted to call them, they wouldn't be able to answer because their cellphone is out of battery. They reveal that they are struggling financially and can't afford to pay for electricity in their house, hence the lack of charge in their phone. The person singing the song justifies their behavior by claiming that it is all because of their love for the other person. They admit to being the kind of person who wants to impress and win them over, but feels like they can't compete with someone who seems to have it all. This other person is described as someone who believes they are the best and has the latest model of everything, possibly a reference to material wealth and status. In the end, the singer acknowledges that the only thing this other person may have that they don't is a brand new car or all of the love that resides in their heart. They express their longing to be adored by the person they are singing to and emphasize that material possessions can't compare to the love they have to offer. Overall, "El Celular" highlights the superficiality of trying to impress others with material possessions and emphasizes the importance of genuine love and affection.
