This is what LLYLM, Rosalía’s new song, sounds like

Although it had already been leaked a few hours earlier, Rosalía premiered her new single last night: LLYLM (Lie Like You Love Me), a rumba in Spanglish.

Rosalía is starting the year full of new music. The first single to be released in 2023 is LLYLM. Before releasing the track, the Catalan singer posted a short clip on TikTok. The video was immediately deleted, but her followers began to prepare possible choreographies. Shortly afterwards, another small preview was released and the typical campaign that Rosi has subjected us to began to announce the release of the single in its entirety.

It is a flamenco pop song with electronic touches, sung in a mix of Spanish and English. We could rather say that it is a semi-pop rumba with a more airy production than the tracks on her last album Motomami. Despite the anticipation of many fans, the scheduled release of Rosalía’s track has been somewhat tarnished by the previous leak of the song. However, this is not the first time this has happened.

LLYLM

[Verso 1]

El que quiero, no me quiere

Como quiero que me quiera

Hoy termina la condena

Me divierte, maybe tú eres el que me libera

[Pre-Estribillo]

Y es que hoy es carnaval

Yo soy de aquí y tú eres de allá

Lo diré en inglés y me entenderás, mmh

[Estribillo]

I don’t need honesty

Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me

Covеr me in a dream

I’ll be yours or fantasy

Who needs thе honesty?

Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me

Maybe at the end it becomes real enough for me

[Post-Estribillo]

Oh, oh, oh, for me

[Verso 2]

Llevo coco, con canela

Perfumada, escapemos, si es que quieres

Vengo en moto, soy una mami

Y si hay un día, hoy es ese día

Para ser y cambiar, o no ser y disfrazar

Your angel, you’re my vamp tonight

You might also like

[Estribillo]

I don’t need honesty

Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me

Cover me in a dream

I’ll be yours or fantasy

Who needs the honesty?

Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me

Maybe at the end it becomes real enough for me

[Puente]

Ay, dame esa, esa pulsera de flores

Me la pondré en la muñeca

Cuando despierte, así yo lo sabré

Así yo lo sabré, yo sabré que fue real

Será mi tótem, lo sabes tú y nadie más

[Estribillo]

I don’t need honesty

Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me

Cover me in a dream

I’ll be yours or fantasy

Who needs the honesty?

Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me

Maybe at the end it becomes real enough for me

I don’t need honesty

Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me

Cover me in a dream

I’ll be yours or fantasy

Who needs the honesty?

Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me

Maybe at the end it becomes real enough for me

[Post-Estribillo]

Oh, oh, oh, for me
