Music video

The music video for "Pienso en tu mirá" was directed by Nicolás Méndez of production company CANADA, and filmed alongside the "Malamente" music video in May 2018, within five days in Barcelona, Badalona, L'Hospitalet and Barberà del Vallès, Spain.[1][2]

As a follow-up to the "Malamente" video, "Pienso en tu mirá" is a "visual poem" full of icons and imagery. The story begins with a plastic flamenco woman doll swinging on the rear mirror of a truck that crashes against a wall.

Throughout the video, Rosalía appears being covered in jewels, chased by female characters that dance around her, or trapped in a loop in a room with no exit. One of the most iconic scenes in the video depicts Rosalía surrounded by men who point at her with knives and shotguns. This has been compared to a submissive stance, which shifts once Rosalía stands up and the camera moves to portray an empowering low-angle shot.

Physically strong and intimidating truck drivers are also seen, with blood coming out from their chests, referencing the chorus lyrics "Pienso en tu mirá, tu mirá, clavá, es una bala en el pecho" ("I think of your gaze — It's like a bullet embedded in my chest").[3] This reference is also present when Rosalía is loading up a rifle with black olives, to later reveal that the olives are indeed the eyes of a stuffed bull head.

The video ends with Rosalía walking away from the inside of a truck where a man is destroying many objects with a bat. In the last scene, the protagonist sends messages via WhatsApp from the top of the vehicle already knocked down, in the middle of the chaos.

Live performances

Rosalía performed the song along with "Malamente" on BBC TV show Later... with Jools Holland on 16 October 2018.[4] On 31 October 2018, she performed it in front of 11,000 people at a free concert brought by Red Bull at the Plaza de Colón, in Madrid.[5]

Usage in media

"Pienso en tu mirá" was used in a commercial for clothing retailer Pull&Bear in 2018.[6]
