“CUUUUuuuuuute” is ROSALÍA’s musical roller-coaster: it starts like a nursery rhyme that counts its way up to twenty-one, then flips into a swagger-filled chant that tells everyone to keep it cute. The song celebrates contrasts. Sweet numbers and fluttering butterflies sit next to street-wise warnings, showing how the Spanish star can be playful and fierce in the very same breath.
Under the bubbly surface, ROSALÍA slips in clever images of uniqueness (snow in Miami, highways without arrows) to remind braggarts that true artistry belongs to God. The NATO alphabet roll-call—A de alfa, B de brava, C de charlie—feels like a coded shout-out to her global audience, while the “Crashed, Lady D” line hints at the dark side of fame she sometimes wishes to escape. Mixing innocence, confidence and spiritual humility, the track invites listeners to enjoy the fun yet stay grounded. In other words: dance, shine and transform like loose butterflies, but never forget to keep it cute.
