The video was recorded at Rosalía’s show in Radio City Music Hall. In the clip, Rosalía is seen and heard performing the opening moments of her hit song “Malamente.” As she starts singing, she abruptly turns towards the sound booth. While she tries to continue the song, something is bothering her. “Wait, wait, wait, wait. What’s going on?” she says, walking towards the right of the stage and leaving the crowd confused. She speaks to the guy behind manning the sound booth and then returns to the stage to perform the song from the start, with her dancers following in sync.

After performing the song, Rosalía addressed the crowd and explained what had occurred. She said that her voice was going “up and down” and that she didn’t want to perform the song wrong for the audience.
