Rosalía Gushes Over ‘Mind-Blowing’ U2 Song Dedication on New Album: ‘It’s Amazing’
The singer visited The Tonight Show on Wednesday (Oct. 7) to talk about the celebrity confessionals on her LUX tour and her SNL gig this weekend.
Rosalía has experienced many career milestones over the past year, including her LUX album debuting at No. 1 on five different Billboard charts simultaneously and being honored as Woman of the Year at the 2026 Billboard Latin Women in Music awards. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Rosalía shared her excitement over receiving a special dedication from U2 for her new album Carnaval De Luz.
The Spanish singer and songwriter was left astonished when Fallon informed her that U2 had dedicated a song, "The Mirror Maker (Rosalía)," to her. Rosalía, acknowledging her admiration for Bono, the lead singer of U2, mentioned that the band's frontman had reached out to her regarding the song, asking for her input on certain words.
One word in particular, "marmolay," which Fallon initially misunderstood, was a term that Rosalía had never encountered before. Intrigued, she decided to research the word and found that it didn't exist in standard Spanish. Encouraging U2's frontman, Rosalía jokingly offered to let the band create their own language if needed, to which Fallon jokingly commented that Bono, a rock legend, certainly had that privilege.
The singer expressed that the dedication was "mind-blowing," as it brought back memories of hearing U2's hit "With Or Without You" when she was a child.
