«There are many ways to be ‘Desphá’, in this matter it is from madness or ignorance, walking without reservations or regret. “This is the place from which I make music, from where I did when I started and where I will continue until God says,” said the artist in the statement that accompanied her first release.

The impact of this cut that was left out of his last album, the aforementioned “Motomami”, has also been such among critics that Rolling Stone magazine placed it as the fifth best song of 2022, above others as famous as “As “it was” by Harry Styles” or “Break My Soul” by Beyoncé.

Rosalía, a musical phenomenon both in Spain and outside the country, has become, for example, the first Spanish-speaking female artist to appear on the cover of the music magazine Rolling Stone, this month, for her album «Motomami ».
