Often, I know exactly where a song is going before I ever put pen to paper. For example, from the beginning I knew that Guapo would be about a good-looking guy who has absolutely no idea how shallow and boring he actually is.

When I wrote ¡PAN!, however, all I knew was that I wanted to teach how to order in a restaurant.
