The incombustible Rosalía has just presented ‘Tuya’, a new very sensual and experimental track that mixes reggeaton with koto strings, a Japanese national instrument.

The video was directed by Stillz, with whom she had previously worked with the singer and Rauw Alejandro in VAMPIROS. Rosalía does not hide her love for Japan (and especially Tokyo), the indirect protagonist of the music video. Through a statement from Sony Music, Rosalía explains that “exploring is part of what I am as a musician and in the case of ‘Tuya’, inspirations such as reggeaton, Asian music or gabber techno coexist at the same level”.

And her love for Japanese culture is not new. The singer continues on the path of previous songs such as Candy, Hentai or Chicken Teriyaki, songs from Motomami.

Letra de Yours – Rosalía

What I want I have without forgiveness and without permission

Baby, be careful, I don’t know if you’re ready

It’s that I have the talent to make what I imagine happen, yeah

I’m already a hundred out of ten, I’ll do it too well so you don’t forget

Just tonight I’m yours, yours

Only tonight you are mine, mine

You want to see me naked, Juda

I to you below ‘and my navel, yeah

Just tonight I’m yours, yours

Only tonight you will be mine, mine

Without remedy or cure, Juda’

We are two crazy’, yeah

I know that you like me more than the first day of summer (Of summer)

I know you saw me, you can’t cover the sun with your hand (That’s right)

My skin is heating up, that goes in your favor

A piece of heaven, that’s my taste Only tonight I’m yours, yours

Only tonight you are mine, mine

Without remedy or cure, Juda’

We are two crazy’, yeah Sex with me is high

From the Renaissance I am a sculpture

I love you, you are beautiful

I am your devil in your devil nights

I’m soft as cashmere

Play this guitar, come on, seat the fret

Divine intervention, I am your future (You are mine)

A lucky son of a bitch because you found me

Stick with me for good luck

Hug me and do not let me go

Stick to me, I’ll give you luck

I’m your number 7 Just tonight I’m yours, yours

Only tonight you are mine, mine

You want to see me naked, uda’

I to you below ‘and my navel, yeah

Just tonight I’m yours, yours

Only tonight you are mine, mine

Without remedy or cure, cure’

We are two crazy’, yeah

Just tonight I’m yours, yours

Only tonight you are mine, mine

Without remedy or cure, Juda’

We are two crazy’, yeah

Is ‘Yours’ dedicated to Hunter Schafer?

As usual for the singer, the release of Tuya has been accompanied by some controversy. In this case, it has been this Twitter thread that explains why ‘Tuya’ could be a covert dedication to Hunter Schafer, one of the actresses of ‘Euphoria‘.

In that thread they talk about the great friendship they both had publicly in 2019. It was not uncommon to see them together at events and shindigs of all kinds (even at the MET gala). The user (@motocarl on Twitter) also lets slip that the ‘relationship’ between the two ended due to the irruption of Rauw Alejandro, Rosalía’s current partner.

In fact, in the great list of tweets we can see an excerpt of the interview that Rosalía and Rauw Alejandro did with Ibai Llanos for their channel. There, the singer states that before meeting the singer, she “had lost faith in masculinity”. Coincidence?
