Background[edit]
Self-written and self-produced by the 22-year-old from A Coruña, Quintero first released "Si No Estás" in 2022. However, it did not garner attention until September 2023, a full year later, through TikTok.[1] Snippets of the song widely show clips of people in relationships expressing their mutual love for each other.[2] The song generally talks about heartbreak and features lyrical elements of spirituality and "finding oneself through religion".[3]
