Content

edit

The song is about a fight between a couple in a toxic relationship. The described physical violence refers to the album title, which loosely translates into "the bad love". The clear numbering of songs might hint to the fact that the described violence in this song is the result of the described jealousy in the previous song, "Pienso en tu mirá".

Music video

edit

The music video, directed by Diana Kunst and Mau Morgó, was released on 22 January 2019. It was shot in Campo de Criptana, Spain.[1] In 2019, the music video won the UK Video Music Awards for the Best Pop Music Video International.[2]

The video relates to the song contents by showing Rosalía on a motorbike, continuously sinking deeper in oil, which can be seen as a metaphor for the toxic relationship the lyrics describe.
