The song "Can't Come to the Phone" by Martin Jensen, Amber Van Day, and NFI revolves around the theme of dishonesty and avoiding confrontation in a romantic relationship. The lyrics describe the protagonist being caught up in a new relationship while still being involved with their current partner. They admit to lying and confess that they won't deny the things they said to their partner about being alone or already home. However, they reveal that they are actually dressed up and staying out instead. The chorus signifies the protagonist's decision to avoid communication with their partner. They state that they can't come to the phone because they are preoccupied with a new person, and they don't want to hear their partner's voice. They express a lack of remorse by saying they will let their calls ring out. The second verse continues the theme of deception, with the protagonist talking about being on low battery and making excuses for not being available. They admit that these excuses only create more problems. Overall, the song portrays a character who is engaging in dishonesty, avoiding responsibility, and no longer invested in their current relationship. They prioritize their own desires and choose to disconnect from their partner rather than facing the consequences of their actions.
