Ivan Cornejo’s “Llamadas Perdidas” turns a simple missed call notification into a heartfelt story of role-reversal and self-discovery. The narrator once lost sleep waiting for an ex to dial his number, only to realize she was playing a game of amor y mentiras. Now the tables have flipped: he picks up the phone only when he feels like it, repeating the mantra “El amor siempre gana” while reminding himself that wasted time is money you never get back.
Behind the mellow guitars and regional Mexican rhythms, the song captures that bittersweet moment when you finally recognize your own worth. It blends heartache with a dash of confidence—showing how love can still “win” even when a relationship doesn’t, because it teaches you to stop chasing unanswered calls and start answering to yourself instead.
