Cartier spins the story of a messy, late-night heartbreak that glitters as much as it hurts. Xavi and Gabito Ballesteros paint a picture of endless parties in a high-end setting, where Cartier watches, tequila shots, and neon lights try to mask the sting of a love gone wrong. The narrator is drunk, broke, and angry, blaming his ex while admitting that both of them fumbled the relationship. In spite of the flashy backdrop, he is stuck replaying every what-if, wondering where she is and why she left without even a goodbye.
Beneath the catchy corrido-tumbado beat, the song explores the clash between luxury and loneliness. Polvos, Barbie’s, y tequila hint at a wild nightlife fueled by powder and dolls, yet none of it erases the ache of being forgotten. “Cartier” reminds listeners that no amount of designer sparkle can outshine the raw ache of love that could have been but never was.
Xavi, born Joshua Xavier Gutierrez Alonso in Phoenix, Arizona, is a Mexican-American singer and songwriter who has been redefining Regional Mexican music since his debut in 2020.

Signed to Interscope Records, Xavi's music gained massive popularity on platforms like TikTok, leading to chart success in the US and Latin America. Despite recovering from a serious car accident early in his career, his resilience and distinctive style have earned him a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. With his debut EP "My Mom's Playlist" and upcoming tours, Xavi continues to be a leading voice in contemporary Latin music.
