Conste comes from the verb constar, which means 'to be on record' or 'to be evident'. In this context, it's used as an imperative, meaning "let it be known" or "just so you know."
Angela Aguilar uses this word to add emphasis and a touch of playful warning. She sings, "Que conste amor que ya te lo advertí," which translates to "Let it be known, my love, that I already warned you." It highlights her determination and confidence in winning over the person she desires.
Angela Aguilar's "Me Gustas Mucho" is such a fun, direct song about having a major crush and being absolutely determined to make it work! She's not shy about her feelings at all. From the very beginning, she declares, "Yo no he perdido la esperanza de tenerte entre mis brazos" [I haven't lost hope of having you in my arms], making it clear she's in it for the long haul.
What I love is her confidence! She states, "Lo que me gusta obtengo con toda seguridad" [What I like, I get with complete certainty]. It's a bold promise that she'll achieve her goal. She even gives a playful warning: "Que conste amor que ya te lo advertí que no descansaré hasta que seas mío" [Let it be known, my love, I already warned you that I won't rest until you're mine]. This song is all about that exciting, slightly obsessive feeling of knowing who you want and being sure you'll get them, no matter what!
Ángela Aguilar Álvarez was born in Los Angeles on 8 October 2003, while her father Pepe Aguilar was out on tour, and she has been singing ranchera since she was a child. Her grandparents were Antonio Aguilar and Flor Silvestre, two of the biggest names in Mexican film and ranchera music, so the mariachi repertoire she sings is more or less the family catalogue.
Her performance of "La Llorona" at the 2018 Latin Grammy Awards drew a standing ovation and is still the clip people send each other. Primero Soy Mexicana, released the same year, was nominated for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album at the Latin Grammys and for Best Regional Mexican Music Album at the Grammys, which made her one of the youngest artists nominated for both. She has kept changing lanes since: Mexicana Enamorada (2021) stays with the rancheras, Bolero (2024) is her album of standards, and Nadie Se Va Como Llegó (2025) is the most recent.
