Lo Vas a Olvidar (part. Billie Eilish)

In 'Lo Vas a Olvidar,' ROSALÍA and Billie Eilish delve into the complexities of a past relationship that continues to haunt them. The song's lyrics are a poignant exploration of lingering emotions, regret, and the struggle to move on. The repeated question, '¿Lo vas a olvidar?' (Are you going to forget it?), underscores the difficulty of letting go of a love that once was significant. This refrain, coupled with the English counterpart 'Can you let it go?', highlights the universal nature of heartbreak and the internal conflict that comes with it.

The song's verses reveal a deep sense of longing and unresolved feelings. Lines like 'Dime si me echas de menos aún' (Tell me if you still miss me) and 'Dime si no me perdonas aún' (Tell me if you still don't forgive me) suggest a yearning for closure and understanding. The metaphor of 'veneno' (poison) symbolizes the toxic remnants of the relationship that continue to affect both parties. The plea for a kiss and to be taken down from the cross ('Dame un beso y bájame de la cruz') evokes imagery of sacrifice and suffering, indicating the emotional toll the relationship has taken.

The collaboration between ROSALÍA and Billie Eilish brings together their unique musical styles, blending ROSALÍA's flamenco-inspired sound with Eilish's ethereal pop. This fusion creates a hauntingly beautiful backdrop for the song's introspective lyrics. The line 'El amor no puede medirse en un paso firme' (Love cannot be measured in a firm step) reflects the unpredictable and often tumultuous nature of love. The song's conclusion, with its contemplative tone and unresolved questions, leaves listeners reflecting on their own experiences with love and loss.
