Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Joe's song Que Paso Vato tells a story of a man who is trying to understand what happened in his relationship that caused the woman he loved to leave him. In the first verse, he expresses how she no longer shows him affection like she used to, and he wants to know what she is thinking. He then reveals that he discovered something displeasing about his woman, referring to her behavior ("anotojos"). Despite his efforts to make her happy, she was never satisfied, and one day, she left him alone. The chorus shows Joe begging for answers, wanting to know what changed in their relationship that caused her to stop loving him. The song closes with him expressing his love for her, stating that he will search the entire world to find her, no matter the cost.

The song uses metaphors associated with objects to express emotions such as the lyrics, "De la camisa al boton" meaning, that someone has nothing left. The song highlights the importance of communication in relationships and how a lack of it can lead to misunderstandings and eventually ending a relationship.
