After becoming a global trend on TikTok thanks to the gigantic success of If you are not, Íñigo Quintero’s life has changed radically. Because it is not every day that one creates the most viral song on the planet that is capable of leading the charts in 13 countries and reaching the Global Top Viral of the reproduction platforms. The bar has been set very high but the soloist is not afraid of the challenge and for this he has presented the first video clip of his career for the song What remains of me.
In the first minutes of Friday the 15th, it was presented through its official channels on the main streaming and video platforms. An audiovisual proposal that wants to reflect how the artist’s life has changed since the boom in networks and the role of music as an escape valve.
The best way to deal with unexpected fame is at the starting point of this song: “Imagine that you are at home and only your friends and family know you, and suddenly you become number 1 in the world in the platform” the artist explained a few days ago during an interview.
This is how What Remains of Me is born. The video clip directed by Carlos C. Insuela (Hibridoabraxas) and James Bachmann, perfectly portrays the new reality that Iñigo faces since his career took off. At first, Iñigo felt disoriented and isolated. However, it was a conversation with his friends that inspired him to compose the song.
Both the song and the video clip reflect Iñigo’s current situation, who faces the challenge every day of combining his attendance at teaching classes with his new life after the Si No estars boom. Without a doubt, a very good letter of introduction as it is his first video clip, where the audience will get to know the artist’s two great passions up close: music and teaching.
“Lo Que Queda de Mí” tells us indirectly about how Iñigo appreciates the simplicity of everyday life, from studying what he likes to spending an afternoon in the park with his friends.
Lyrics of What remains of me by Íñigo Quintero
I don’t know how to tell you
All this has changed me
And that has just begun
and I don’t know anyone
Everything goes very fast
I can’t find the time to stop
I can’t tell their lies
It hurts me if they look at me like that
I don’t know what’s left of me
Maybe you don’t want to hear it
I thought I looked like you
Maybe that’s what made me die
How I am a coward
I have never told you
And I dry my tears in the air
I can’t tell their lies
It hurts me if they look at me like that
No matter how much you told me
I didn’t think this was going to come out
I don’t know what’s left of me
Maybe you don’t want to hear it
I thought I looked like you
Maybe that’s what made me die
I don’t know what’s left of me
Maybe you don’t want to hear it
I thought I looked like you
Maybe that’s what made me die
You pretend you don’t care about anything
And everything is reflected in your face
Broken with pain
And you have run out of desire
And you’re begging for a second to be alone
And I still remember that moment
You so far away and at the same time I so close to you
And it is true that I burst when I think of everything you do for me
I don’t know what’s left of me
Maybe you don’t want to hear it
I thought I looked like you
Maybe that’s what made me die
I don’t know what’s left of me
Maybe you don’t want to hear it
I thought I looked like you
Maybe that’s what made me die
