Diva

The song "Diva" by Argentine pop star Lali is a celebration of the glamorous and luxurious lifestyle often associated with being a superstar. The lyrics paint a picture of a life filled with opulence, from a room filled with over a thousand roses to high-end fashion items like red-bottomed shoes and Chanel bags. Lali sings about the ease with which she navigates this world, moving from Buenos Aires to Paris, and being the center of attention at every party. The song's chorus emphasizes that being a diva is not just about the material wealth but also about a state of mind and an inherent quality of shining bright, even when alone.

Lali also touches on the idea that her diva status is something innate, not just a product of her success. She compares herself to iconic divas like Britney Spears and Cher, suggesting that her confidence and self-assuredness were present even before her material success. The song suggests that the essence of being a diva comes from within and is not solely dependent on external validation or material possessions. The repeated lines about being a 'dreamed diva' and living off the gazes of others indicate a self-awareness of her image and the power it holds.

The song also addresses the pressures and expectations placed on someone in her position. The term 'prima donna' and the mention of coming from another galaxy hint at the otherworldly expectations and the isolation that can come with fame. Despite the luxurious lifestyle, there is an underlying message about the importance of staying grounded and remembering where one came from. Lali's "Diva" is a complex interplay between the allure of fame and the personal qualities that make someone a true superstar.
