Berghain Lyrics – ROSALÍA, Björk & Yves Tumor | from “LUX”

Rosalía has never shied away from turning personal fire into something vast and orchestral, but “Berghain” takes that impulse to a whole new ritual. Out today as the lead single from her fourth album LUX that set to dropping on November 7 via Columbia Records, this collaboration with Björk and Yves Tumor feels like stepping into Berlin’s infamous techno cathedral after midnight, where the bass hums like a prayer and the crowd pulses as one living vein.

The track opens with a German choir chanting lines of shared anguish and ecstasy, then Rosalía’s voice cracks through in Spanish verses that melt like sugar in hot coffee, before Björk’s ethereal plea for divine intervention gives way to Tumor’s relentless, whispered mantra of raw connection. It’s a sonic sacrament, blending flamenco echoes with symphonic swells from the London Symphony Orchestra under conductor Daníel Bjarnason, all captured in a video directed by longtime collaborator CANADÁ that layers Catholic icons with surreal fairy-tale twists—like a bloodied Snow White in a confessional haze.

She first hinted at it back on October 13, dropping piano-and-voice sheet music on her Substack with the stark title “BERGHAIN” scrawled in caps—fans wasted no time transcribing and playing it online, turning the tease into a viral piano challenge that racked up covers on TikTok and Reddit. Yesterday’s Instagram video announcement lit up the internet: a shadowy clip of flickering candles and orchestral swells, confirming the drop and the guests who bring their own otherworldly edges—Björk’s icelandic mysticism, Tumor’s glitchy soul.

In early chatter on popheads and X, listeners are calling it her boldest pivot yet, a sober, spiritual shift from Motomami’s neon chaos, where club nights become altars for exploring feminine fury and fragile bonds. As one Rolling Stone piece put it, it’s Rosalía “exploring feminine transformation” in a way that feels both ancient and urgent, like the club’s door policy: selective, transformative, eternal.
