Throughout musical history, many songs have mentioned shoes or heels in their lyrics. Depending on the author, footwear has been used in a positive, negative, or neutral way. Each song is a world in itself, and we are part of it.
Today we wanted to compile some of the most iconic songs that have featured heels in their lyrics or those in which the heel is the clear protagonist. We're going to take a tour from the 1970s to the present day, from Spain to Central America, from pop to rap... Even the sound of heels has been used to create melodies in music. For example, in Carlos Jean's song Gimme the Base, the sound of flamenco dancer Cecilia Gómez's heels is used (at the beginning of the song).
Let's start with two songs that are exclusively about heels. The first is called Zapatos de tacones alto (High Heel Shoes ), a song covered and sung by many artists, including Karina, Sergio y Estibaliz, Miriam Cruz, and others.
The second song will be less familiar to you. "Con zapatos de tacones" is a cumbia composed by Bronco, a Mexican group. The lyrics are very fun, and they contain clues that tell us good reasons to wear high heels.

Now's the time to reminisce and delve into the melodies of years past and present. The following artists have mentioned heels in their songs; some mentions are truly original or unusual, while others go almost unnoticed:
Breeze of Hope – Nuria Fergó (2002)
“Clear spring,
new high-heeled shoes
Ouch! The heart is red.
I will look for love from my balcony”
Click – Anahi with Miranda and Moderatto (2011)
“Obviously red shoes with HEELS .
When I am highest
The applause is greater
Everyone is fighting to get into the VIP area. Yes!
Make way for me. Get out of here!
Like a Candle - Melendi (2010)
“My heart is exhausted
like the HEEL of your boot.
Counting on your fingers

when the phone rings and I hear your voice
Why I didn't get dressed up for the last date

I let my hair down – Gloria Trevi (2006)
“And I let my hair down,
I dressed as a queen,
I put on HEELS ,
I painted myself and I was beautiful.”
Penelope – Joan Manuel Serrat (1970)
“Penelope,
with her brown leather bag
and her high heels
and her Sunday best.”
I Will Survive – Mónica Naranjo (2000)

There is no one in the world, no

I want to taste the red of your lips,
I want to spend my life in your arms
those cheap HEELS ,
Baby, you’re close again.”

I were sneakers // I was sneakers
She cheers the captain // She cheers the captain,
