"LLYLM" (acronym for "Lie Like You Love Me") is a song by Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalía. It was released as a single on 27 January 2023 through Columbia Records. The flamenco pop song contains handclaps, guitars, synthesizers, and a chorus sung in English. "LLYLM" promoted a limited edition drink made in collaboration between Rosalía and Coca-Cola.

Background and composition

The singer started teasing "LLYLM" in early January 2023, while vacationing in Tokyo with her boyfriend Rauw Alejandro.[1] On 18 January, Rosalía revealed the release date for the song.[2] She kept releasing TikTok clips with snippets of the song leading up to the release.[3] On 23 January, she posted the cover of the single.[4]

"LLYLM" was described as a flamenco pop song with electronic influences.[5][6] The first verse begins as a tongue twister; "El que quiero, no me quiere / Como quiero que me quiera", with Rosalía singing over a handclap beat.[7] For the chorus, she switches to English while using falsetto and instrumentation provided by guitar and synthesizers; "I don't need honesty / Baby, lie like you love me, lie like you love me".[8]

Promotion

"LLYLM" was used to promote Rosalía's collaboration with Coca-Cola, in which they created a limited edition brand called 'Move'. The drink included a QR code that gives access to behind-the-scenes of the song's creation.[9] A short film inspired by the brand was released on 10 February 2023.[10]
