Importante (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This verse talks about coming to terms with a breakup. The singer accepts that the relationship is over and their plans, like traveling the world together, won’t happen. They acknowledge that their ex is moving on and even getting married, yet they feel that their ex is not fully at peace and still wonders about what went wrong. Even though there’s no contact or desire to reach out, the singer notices that the past connection still lingers in their ex’s mind, which gives them a strange sense of significance.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer notices that their ex is with someone attractive, but questions why they don’t seem completely happy, hinting at lingering feelings.

[Chorus]
In this part, the singer sees that their presence still affects their ex. Their ex reacts negatively when the singer’s name comes up and avoids them at social events. The singer knows the new partner influenced this behavior, like blocking them, and while it doesn’t feel good, it gives a sense of importance. Even though it’s a small, maybe selfish comfort, it reassures the singer that they still matter in their ex’s life in some way.

[Verse 2]
Here, the singer admits they hide their pain behind pride and ego. They admit to being a little toxic and take a kind of satisfaction in knowing their ex is unsettled. The singer acknowledges that their presence still haunts their ex’s life, and if they can’t be happy themselves, they would prefer their ex to feel some discomfort too. It’s about carrying a mix of hurt, pride, and lingering influence in the relationship even after it’s ended.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer understands that the ex won’t come back, but knowing their presence still matters offers some small reassurance.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer still has an effect on their ex. The ex fights when the singer is mentioned and avoids them at parties, likely at the request of the new partner. While these actions don’t make the singer feel fully better, they feel important because they still leave an impact. The singer finds a mix of satisfaction and pride in knowing they are still remembered and noticed even after the breakup.
