The sentimentality of the song reflects Tina's lost for the love of Ada's mother, and Ada's own feelings fearing that she is going to be separated from Tina, her surrogate mother. Central to the film is the song Lo Dudo (I doubt it) a bolero by Los Panchos, a Latin American trio formed in the 1940s. Lo Dudo, written by Los Panchos's second voice Chucho Navarro, has been immensely popular. It epitomizes Antonio's love for Pablo and he sings it during their last hour together. Almodóvar described the song as key in the film. A song of spurned love, its lyrics fit the plot referring in the film to Antonio's love for Pablo and his belief that Pablo would not find a purer love than his. The Italian romantic song Guarda Che Luna (Look at the moon), written by Fred Buscaglione, frames the scene by the lighthouse in which Antonio confronts Juan. The romantic nature of its words and melody act as a counterpoint to the violence of Juan's murder. The film closes with Dejame recordar (Let me remember), a bolero by Cuban singer and cabaret actor Bola de Nieve. "Who will erase from your life the memory of me, and will allow this love to be forgotten? This love made out of blood and pain, poor love..."
