"De aquí no sales" is a song by Spanish singer Rosalía. It was released on 22 January 2019 by Columbia Records as the fifth and final single from her second studio album, El mal querer (2018).

Song Contents[edit]

The song is about a fight between a couple in a toxic relationship. The described physical violence refers to the album title, which loosely translates into 'Bad Love'. The clear numbering of songs might hint to the fact that the described violence in this song (nr. 4) is the result of the described jealousy in the previous song nr 3: 'Pienso en tu Mirá' (I'm thinking about your look).

Music video[edit]

The music video, directed by Diana Kunst and Mau Morgó, was released on 22 January 2019. It was shot in Campo de Criptana, Spain.[1] In 2019, the music video won the UK Video Music Awards as the Best pop music video international.[2]

The video content relates to the song contents by showing Rosalia on a motorbike, continuously sinking deeper in oil, which can be seen as a metaphor for the toxic relationship the lyrics describe, and to the title refers: 'de aqui no sales' translates into: 'you don't leave from here'.
