Cuéntaselo a Otro

Rels B's 'Cuéntaselo a Otro' is a song that delves into the themes of skepticism, superficiality, and the complexities of past relationships. The Spanish artist, known for his blend of hip-hop and urban music, uses the song to tell a story of a past lover who seems to have moved on to a life of material luxury, but whose current happiness is questioned by the narrator.

The chorus, 'Cuéntaselo a otro,' which translates to 'Tell it to someone else,' is a clear expression of disbelief. The narrator is not convinced by the ex-lover's claims of a better life and sees through the facade of material wealth and outward appearances. The song suggests that true value and happiness cannot be bought or sold, and the narrator hints at a deeper understanding of this, despite the allure of superficial gains. The repeated lines emphasize the narrator's firm stance on not being swayed by lies or pretenses.

The verses provide a backstory to the relationship, contrasting the narrator's humble past with the ex-lover's current affluent lifestyle, which includes a wealthy new boyfriend. The narrator reflects on the time when they were together and the sacrifices made to make the relationship work, only to be left behind for materialistic reasons. However, the physical attraction remains, leading to a complicated situation where the past and present collide. The song captures the bittersweet reality of moving on from a relationship while still being drawn to the familiar connection, albeit with a clear-eyed view of its imperfections.
