ROSALÍA turns a seemingly innocent lullaby into a daring confession of desire. Over a delicate piano line she sings about riding her lover like a bike, mixing softness with unabashed eroticism. The title “HENTAI” borrows the Japanese word for explicit anime, turning it into a playful code for her own fantasies. While the chorus repeats a child-like “so good,” the verses celebrate female pleasure, reminding us that pleasure comes after spirituality: “Lo primero es Dios, segundo es chingarte.”
Throughout the song ROSALÍA peppers the lyrics with vivid images—a shining diamond tip, a crimson poppy, a crashing wave—to paint her lover as both dangerous and irresistible. By contrasting sweet melodies with candid language, she reclaims sensuality on her own terms, inviting listeners to embrace desire without shame and to enjoy the surprising blend of tenderness and audacity that makes the track unforgettable.
