Flans' song 'Finge Que No' delves into the emotional turmoil of a breakup and the coping mechanisms people employ to navigate the pain. The lyrics suggest a strategy of pretending, or 'faking it till you make it,' as a way to deal with the heartache. The repeated advice to 'finge que no' (pretend it’s not happening) underscores the difficulty of moving on and the societal expectations to maintain a facade of strength, especially for men. The line 'no es de hombres' (it's not manly) highlights the cultural pressure on men to suppress their emotions and avoid showing vulnerability.
