Magnolias Lyrics – ROSALÍA | from “LUX”

ROSALÍA closes her ambitious fourth album LUX with Magnolias, a track that blooms like its namesake—delicate yet unyielding, wrapping themes of feminine mysticism and quiet rebirth in orchestral layers that feel both ancient and alive. Set for release on November 7, 2025, via Columbia Records, LUX marks her boldest evolution yet, recorded in part with the London Symphony Orchestra to weave symphonic depth into her signature flamenco-trap fusion.

As the 15th and final cut on the digital edition, Magnolias serves as a poignant exhale after the record’s emotional odyssey through illusion, loss, faith, and transcendence. It’s ROSALÍA at her most introspective, channeling the slow unfurling of petals to mirror personal growth amid chaos, much like the transformative arc she traces across the album’s four movements.

From the explosive opener Sexo, Violencia y Llantas to haunting collabs like the Björk-featuring Berghain or Yves Tumor’s edge on La Jugular, LUX pulses with collaborators who amplify her vision—Carminho on Mio Cristo, Refree’s subtle strings throughout. Magnolias, though, stands alone in its restraint, a farewell whisper that fans have pieced together from tracklist teases and her cryptic Instagram stories.

Early buzz on Reddit and X paints it as the emotional anchor, with one popheads thread calling it “the kind of closer that makes you replay the whole thing just to arrive back here.” Drawing from her Barcelona roots and global sojourns, ROSALÍA infuses the song with that raw vulnerability she’s honed since El Mal Querer, but now elevated—think blooming magnolias as symbols of enduring beauty in decay, tying into the album’s intimacy amid grandeur.

Since Motomami’s genre-bending highs, ROSALÍA’s been redefining Latin pop’s boundaries, and LUX feels like her symphonic manifesto. Pre-orders are spiking, especially for the physical editions packing bonus tracks like Focu ‘ranni and Novia Robot, exclusive to vinyl and CD. As November nears, Magnolias has everyone anticipating how it lands—that soft, southern gothic nod in a record full of fire. It’s not just a song; it’s a meditation on letting go to grow, the kind that sticks with you long after the final note fades.
