New Woman Lyrics
[Intro: LISA]
Here I go
Bangin’ it, bangin’ it, wanna crack these walls
Bangin’ it, bangin’ it, wanna echo through the halls
Pullin’ up, fresh face, brand-new día
Uh, Lalisa, Rosalía
[Verse 1: LISA]
Soak up
All new
So I cut
I go, go to the root
Off to bloom, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: LISA]
Purple into gold
Pain has come and gone again
Walked through that fire
I rediscover
[Chorus: LISA]
Hit it when I serve, bitch, you better swerve
Revvin’ up my au-au-au-au-aura
Focus on my mind, takin’ my time
I’m a new woman, woman
Bitch, you better swerve
Revvin’ up my au-au-au-au-aura
Focus on my mind, takin’ my time
I’m a new woman, woman
See upcoming pop shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists
[Post-Chorus: LISA]
Face, eyes, body go wild
You want this? I’m a new woman, woman
Eyes, I’m all about mind
You want this? I’m a new woman
[Verse 2: ROSALÍA]
(Uh, mh)
Por to’ lo quе soy, yo puedo frontear
No por lo que tеnga siempre me la dan
Y mi energía inmaculá’
Bajo perfil (Y tú ‘tás fuera)
Yo vivo pa’ cantar, no canto pa’ vivir
Nací pura, sí
Ni una era será un flop en mi porvenir
Puta, soy la Rosalía, solo sé servir
[Bridge: ROSALÍA]
La noche estrellá’, así sea
Hasta la madrugá’, que así sea
[Pre-Chorus: ROSALÍA, ROSALÍA & LISA]
Purple into gold (Into gold)
Pain has come and gone again
Walked through that fire
I rediscover
New Woman’s Meaning
The song metaphorically addresses the daily struggles women face. It uses imagery such as falling apples to represent monthly periods, glitter to symbolize the act of shaving, and makeup as a way to “change” one’s face. The pressure to create a sellable image is depicted through the metaphor of photocopying. Throughout the video, eyes are constantly framed, with a creepy male figure spying on Lisa, watching her every move.
The struggles are exaggerated through absurd scenarios, like walking in burning boots and vacuuming grass, symbolizing the extreme lengths women must go to meet societal standards. This is contrasted with the idea that men often get away with their actions without facing consequences. Ultimately, the song represents Lisa breaking free from these pressures and rediscovering herself after the hardships she has endured over the years.
