The sadness, the longing, processing emotional distance… all topics we can often relate to, which is the reason why fans wanted to analyze the song with attention.

Baby Please: the meaning behind the lyrics
Baby Please is a melancholic song about a lost love: in the lyrics, Iván Cornejo sings his sadness, longing for a woman who no longer belongs to his life.
As we know, processing a breakup is one of the topics we deal with more often in music, as it is one of the most complex experiences we face in life. In Baby Please, Iván Cornejo seems to resist moving on: admittedly, the woman he talks about has already managed to leave this relationship behind, while the singer still struggles.
I just want you to be mine
Without paying rent, you live in me
There is no way to get out of here
However, for you it was easy to extinguish the flame I ignited in you
This sadness is intense, and the song describes the singer’s lonely moments and his feelings while he tries to cope with the emotions through alcohol. From this perspective, Baby Please can be interpreted as the expression of a moment of weakness, while he’s inebriated. When the singer sings “baby please,” the only English words in a song made of Spanish lyrics, he begs her to think about him, even a little.
Blame me, but don’t stop loving me
Do anything to me except letting me go
Bottle after bottle, I write more about you
Baby, please
Let yourself come, think a little about me
Baby, think of me, baby
The memory of that love sounds like something unique that can’t be repeated – like a lost opportunity for happiness. Iván Cornejo wishes he could find someone who could love him as she did. He wishes there was a way out of this sadness. He describes it as a “treasure he lost” and admits he cannot see himself without her.
I know your love was irreplaceable
I pray there’s a solution because this love hurts like hell
It’s his fragility talking, begging for another chance. The singer believes this love can work if the parts involved start over again, like they were initially. It’s that typical line of thoughts we all have after a relationship ends: could I have done something different? Is there a chance to restore the purity we experienced in the initial phase?
We know where this sadness usually goes. As time passes, we will finally feel the strength to move on. Meanwhile, Baby Please describes the intensity of this unique moment, and that becomes the real meaning behind its lyrics: I’m not ready to move forward, I’m drowning in this sadness, and I wish I could return back in time, enjoying again the time I spent with you. I feel nobody can ever replace you in my heart, and this void hurts. An intense expression of melancholy that we can keep close to us when we face a breakup: that’s how art can cure us.

The official video and the complete English lyrics
I’m already feeling the alcohol
And I’m filled with the desire to go out and find someone who loves like you
I know your love was irreplaceable
I pray there’s a solution because this love hurts like hell
I thought about moving to a place very far from here
So I wouldn’t remember the treasure I lost
I thought about leaving to a place far away from you
But I can’t see myself without you
They are kisses from you
Pieces of me, you stole from me
You filled me with courage, baby, please
Let yourself come, think a little about me
Baby, think of me, baby
Think about it, you and I start from scratch as before
We don’t forget yesterday, falling in love again
Think about it, you and I without jealousy like the first time
We didn’t learn to love, but this time we have to do it right
And we have to do it right, we have to do it wrong
We have to do it wrong
I don’t care about that, I just want you to be mine
Without paying rent, you live in me
There is no way to get out of here
However, for you it was easy to extinguish the flame I ignited in you
Whatever you need from me
Blame me, but don’t stop loving me
Do anything to me except letting me go
Bottle after bottle, I write more about you
I’m everything, I’m a lot
But why did you say, “You can endure”?
Remember, remember, oh-oh
Think about it, you and I start from scratch as before
We don’t forget yesterday, falling in love again
Think about it, you and I without jealousy like the first time
We didn’t learn to love, but this time we have to do it right
(Think of me)
Baby, please
