The first verse is about who is telling the story-Mirabel's aunt Pepa and uncle Félix, who Miranda based on his father, Luis Miranda. He described "We Don't Talk About Bruno" as a "gossip" number because there are things family members do not talk about in front of each other. He said he looked to "A Weekend in the Country" from A Little Night Music and "Christmas Bells" from Rent. Miranda pitched the song as an ensemble because he wanted to create musical themes to represent every family member, especially "those who do not necessarily get their solo".
