Gabito Ballesteros turns a classic tale of unrequited love into a playful critique of materialism. The narrator is head-over-heels for someone who has chosen a flashier rival, and his jealousy boils over into a string of questions: How did a "heart of stone" win you over? Is it the new car, the fat bank account, or the well-connected family? Each clue points to the same conclusion—today, love apparently rides on "four wheels," dresses in brand-name clothes, and obeys traffic lights just like any other vehicle.
By repeating the hook "Ahora el amor anda en cuatro llantas," Ballesteros paints a vivid picture of romance reduced to horsepower and tinted windows. It is witty, a little sarcastic, and surprisingly relatable; many listeners will recognize the frustration of watching genuine feelings lose out to shallow status symbols. Performed live, the song feels like a friendly rant shared among pals, inviting us to laugh, sing along, and maybe question how much value we place on shiny toys over sincere hearts.
