Thanks for confirming that my Spanish hasn't completely gone to shit because I've been having the exact same problem. They finally added the lyrics though yay I can sing along

 

One thing I cannot even google is the "herí'a" part. Does it have anything to do with "herir"/"herida"? The catalan pronunciations can be confusing even for someone who is used to crazy Andalusian accents that devour the "s" sounds~

She has a really heavy regional accent apparently, her YouTube comments are always full of people saying they can't make out anything she's saying lol ~

 

I've tried to read along to her lyrics in some songs and it's like she just totally skips pronouncing half of the syllables.

This is an absolute banger! It's kinda weird to hear Travis over a reggeaton beat

Okay this is the first song from her that I’ve actually liked oop, it’s great!

"heri'a" is "herida", with Andalusian pronunciation,

in Andalusia they eat half of the words, especially the ending of words

and means "wound" but here more like "hurt, pain"

so the chorus could be translated as "no new friends, no pain"

I thought so but you never know with her :’) Cheers

The song has done amazingly on Spotify, #17 in the US, #68 in the UK and #8 global.

Great video explaining the meaning behind the song! Apparently TKN comes from a video game

 

 

The song is #69 in the first mids so could well end up being her first top 100 in the UK

first top 100 in the UK for Rosalia <3 <3 <3

 

73 New TKN ROSALIA & TRAVIS SCOTT

At last *.* thank you based Travis ~

 

This song definitely does feel too short yet again from her (it's like she is doing this on purpose!!1) but nonetheless another banger, one of the most inventive reggaetón instrumentals I think I have ever heard. Also Travis singing partly in Spanish :cheeseblock:

and it's also her first US top 100 hit

 

#66 - TKN (Rosalia & Travis Scott)

It looks like the virality gods have had good taste and chosen this as the next song to blow up on TikTok - back up to #77 on Spotify in the UK (only 9 places behind its first day/peak position) and into the top 100 on Apple Music for I think the first time. Get that first top 40 hit pls. xx

Climbs to #41 here in the UK today *.*

So close :cry: The fact it's doing well on streaming and there's a lot of new entries that will drop next week make me hopeful that it will go top 40 in the coming weeks.

just needs the HH add and can be huge

If this doesn't go any further this will be the biggest chart travesty for a long time xx The fact it's hit #41 in a week that had so many new entries in the top 40 as well, would have got there if not for this week being unusually active for big new releases!!!

 

(I expect it probably will still climb further but I'm going to be anxious about this until I see it happen :lol:)
