"Bagdad" is a song by Spanish singer Rosalía. It was released on 4 December 2018 by Columbia Records as the fourth single from her second studio album, El mal querer (2018).[1]
Inspired by the Barcelonian erotic club of the same name, lyrically "Bagdad" talks about a woman's loneliness.[2] It was written by Antón Álvarez, Leticia Sala, Luís Troquel and Rosalía, with production handled by El Guincho and co-produced by Rosalía herself. It contains an interpolation of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River"[3] and a choral participation by the Orfeó Català as well as arrangements by Joan Albert Amargós.[4][5]
