TKN (feat. Travis Scott)

ROSALÍA's 'TKN,' featuring Travis Scott, is a song that delves into themes of loyalty, trust, and the code of silence within a close-knit group. The lyrics, primarily in Spanish with a verse by Travis Scott in English, emphasize the importance of keeping family matters private and only sharing secrets with those who are truly trustworthy. The repeated phrase 'Ni un amigo nuevo, ni una hería' translates to 'Not a new friend, nor a wound,' suggesting a reluctance to open up to new people and the potential risks that come with it.

The term 'omertà' mentioned in the song is a code of silence and honor that is known to be practiced by the Mafia. By referencing this, ROSALÍA positions herself as a powerful figure, akin to a 'capo' or boss, who values discretion above all. The collaboration with Travis Scott adds a layer of international appeal and reinforces the theme of exclusivity and inner circle. Scott's verse complements the song's message by discussing the allure of a mysterious woman and the secrecy that surrounds their interactions.

The music video for 'TKN' further illustrates the song's themes with its portrayal of a tight-knit group moving in unison, symbolizing unity and a strong bond among its members. The song's beat and the artists' delivery create an atmosphere of confidence and defiance, which is characteristic of ROSALÍA's experimental approach to flamenco and urban music influences.
