The song "What Else Can I Do" by Diane Guerrero & Stephanie Beatriz is an uplifting anthem of self-determination and resilience. The lyrics express a strong and liberated voice that encourages oneself to keep exploring and discovering one's identity and talents. The song follows two characters, Isabela and Mirabel, as they navigate their journey of self-discovery. Through a flurry of vivid descriptions, they remind themselves and listeners to fearlessly express themselves and face the unknown. The chorus captures the empowering message of the song perfectly: "A hurricane of jacarandas/Strangling figs (Big)/Hanging vines (This is fine)/Palma de cera fills the air as I climb/And I push through/What else can I do?" This chorus encourages listeners to take action and be unapologetically true to themselves, no matter how daunting the uncomfortable truths or unknowns may be.
