Within minutes of its release, thousands of people had already seen the singer's latest work, and the clip neared the 18,000 viewer mark in the first hour.
A white-gowned and unibrowed Rosalía appears in the clip's first few seconds, expressively moving her hands – with her characteristically long nails – and arms while swaying as she sings an introduction reminiscent of her collaboration with British musician James Blake.
The song quickly descends into a minimal trap beat, with the artist dancing and singing alongside masked production line workers in an industrial-looking setting that once again puts on display Rosalía's musical versatility.
