Y Quién No

María Peláe's song "Y Quién No" is a witty and satirical commentary on the superficiality and exaggeration prevalent in social media culture. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where everyone appears to be living a perfect life, constantly sharing photos with hashtags like #happy and #perfectdate. The repetition of phrases like "Aquí to'l mundo está de maravilla" (Here everyone is wonderful) and "Hazme una foto aquí que ponga hashtag feliz" (Take a photo of me here that says hashtag happy) underscores the obsession with projecting an idealized version of oneself online.

The song delves into the reality behind these curated images, revealing the discrepancies between online personas and real life. For instance, the lyrics describe a disappointing date where the person doesn't live up to their online profile, highlighting the gap between expectation and reality. The humorous tone is evident in lines like "ni era tan alta, ni era tan listo" (neither was she that tall, nor that smart) and "Storie en el gym, hashtag: Vida sana" (Story at the gym, hashtag: Healthy life), poking fun at the lengths people go to maintain their online image.

María Peláe uses a playful and colloquial language, making the song relatable and engaging. The use of hashtags and social media jargon like "follow," "unfollow," and "shipeo" (shipping) adds to the modern and relevant feel of the song. The catchy rhythm and repetitive structure make it easy to sing along, while the underlying message encourages listeners to reflect on the authenticity of their online presence. Through "Y Quién No," Peláe invites us to question the facade of perfection that social media often promotes and to embrace a more genuine and less exaggerated version of ourselves.
