In the song, she makes reference to Ryōnen Gensō, and she explained the track’s inspiration.
“I’ll throw away my beauty / Before you have the chance to ruin it / Will you think I’m crazy?” she sings in Japanese.
“Because there’s this saint, Ryōnen Gensō, she was a Japanese saint. It was very interesting. Apparently she destroyed her face in order to be accepted into a monastery…that was incredible. The level of sacrifice in order for her to both achieve what she wanted, and also maybe how a lot of times is considered craziness…an extreme can be considered craziness,” she told Zane Lowe in her Apple Music interview.
“Who am I to judge what is extreme or not. I think that each person has a different path and I’m nobody to judge if that’s extreme or not. But maybe for me, as Rosalía, it would be very hard to do something like that. I consider it maybe extreme for who I am, but I don’t consider it extreme for her that she did that.”
