"'Dolerme'" is a song by Spanish singer and songwriter Rosala. It was released through Sony and Columbia Records on 24 March 2020. The song release was supported by a lyric video which shows a cartoon picture of the singer and her pet chihuahua lying in a blue bedroom.

Background



The song was a surprise-release with no previous announcement by Rosala. Instead, the singer took to Instagram to explain that she was in self-isolation due to COVID-19 at the time of the release and that she had lost track of time. She was hoping to make people feel better with the song, the same way making music supports her own mental health. Before the coronavirus pandemic, Rosala was scheduled to release a "very aggressive and powerful single" alongside an American artist in March but ended up releasing "Dolerme" because she fell it matched more her current mood and the worlds', she told 'El Hormiguero'. The song has not had any radio impact so it must not be classified as a single. Rosala is spending quarantine in her manager's house in Miami since she was recording her new album when flights to Europe from the US and vice versa where banned on March 13.

Composition



The song was described as a "mid-tempo ballad" dealing with a "heartbreak", which, being "built on that guitar and keyboard loops, is distinctly pop as well, though Rosala applies her flamenco tendencies". Lyrically, the track talks about "a fiery on-again, off-again relationship" which is not "helping this whole "isolated" thing", according to 'Vulture' writer Zoe Haylock.

Critical reception



Patrick Johnson of 'Hypebeast' thought that the song "finds Rosala gracefully searching for balance between her traditional Flamenco roots with a modern, pop-infused vibe" while her vocals are characterized by "faint auto-tune with echoing layers". Suzette Fernandez at 'Billboard' labeled it a "stark departure from her previous material" with Rosala proving "herself to be a chameleon".
