Background

Rosalía teased "Chicken Teriyaki" for the first time through TikTok on 16 February and confirmed its release as a promotional single the week after.^{[citation needed]}

Composition

"Chicken Teriyaki" is a "difficult, enjoyment social gathering" mid-tempo "TikTok-ready" reggaeton track that runs for two minutes and two seconds.^[2]^[3] Conceived at the Mercer Hotel in New York City and later recorded at Electric Lady, the song talks about a trip to the city through "ironic lyrics". The concept of the song was mainly inspired in the 1981 painting Arroz con Pollo by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Talking to Apple Music 1, Rosalía stated that she was "just having fun" making the record.^[1] Lyrical references include Julio Iglesias, Mike Dean, and Naomi Campbell, among others.^{[citation needed]}

Music video

Rosalía shared a preview of the music video on 23 February 2022.^[4] The video itself premiered on 24 February on YouTube. It was directed by Tanu Muino and produced by UnderWonder Content in partnership with Canada, marking the second collaboration between the singer and Muino after "Juro Que". It was filmed in a single day in a dancing studio in Madrid in November 2021.^[5] It features a red-haired Rosalía in a dancing studio with a large amount of dancers, mostly women.^[6] Natalia Palomares served as the choreographer. It received comparisons to Gaspar Noé's Climax and Pedro Almodóvar.^[2]
