Tania Turned an Annoying Phone Call Into a Dance-Pop Chorus About Taking Control
In a written FVTV interview, the artist behind Me están llamando explains how an improvised phrase became a hook about taking control of unwanted calls.
What started as a line sung in the middle of a makeup video became the center of Tania's “Me están llamando.” She remembers filming and getting ready when she began singing a question about someone calling Marlenita, the stage name she used before adopting Tania.
The calls in the song aren't meant to identify any particular person. In written answers to FVTV, Tania says the idea comes from people who call too much, wear out their welcome and seem unable to take the hint. On the chorus she tells them to hang up.
The person receiving the call makes the rules
For Tania, “cuelga,” or “hang up,” carries a larger point: whoever receives the call gets to decide when the conversation is finished. She puts that power particularly in the hands of women. Rather than waiting for someone else to stop calling, she wants women to control the line themselves.
The chorus came first. Tania says she built the rest of the record through melodies, lyrics and short phrases around the refrain. That approach is audible in how the repeating title becomes the song's engine. The delivery is playful, and a quick dancehall and dance-pop rhythm keeps it moving.
A memorable hook with room for contrast
FVTV's original October curator review praised the refrain's energy while pointing to a possible improvement: a contrasting vocal bridge or stripped-back passage would give the central hook more force when it returns. The current arrangement relies heavily on the repetition, even as the singer's character carries it.
Tania names Cardi B, Lil' Kim, Megan Thee Stallion and Fifth Harmony among her influences. She also mentions La Más Doll and Kamelon. Her ambition for the listener is direct: she wants people to set aside their problems, feel good and dance.
The confident persona is hers. When she says “I'm your queen,” she describes herself as a pop queen, a diva and the person in charge. That attitude matches her reading of “Me están llamando”: the power belongs to whoever chooses to hang up.
A name change and more music
The artist now performs as Tania and also accepts Lil Queen. She previously used Marlenita, a name she described to FVTV as a fabulous expression of herself.
Tania says several of her recordings arrived on streaming platforms together on March 5, 2026, after earlier release plans shifted. She credits producers with helping distribute the music, but did not supply individual names for publication. She writes in Spanish and says she can also create in French.
She is interested in releasing another song, although she has not confirmed a title spelling or date. For the current record, the message is already clear: a ringing phone does not obligate anyone to answer forever.
