nebula, a representative from Alicante who hails from Ondara, advanced to the Benidorm Festival 2024 final yesterday with the track “Zorra.” This event marks one of the most thrilling moments of its third edition, a competition that will ultimately select Spain’s next Eurovision entrant.

Her message, echoing the spirit of Rigoberta Bandini’s controversial call in the prior edition, champions female empowerment while also challenging ageism and the stereotypes often placed on women.

Full lyrics of the song “Zorra”

The complete lyrics of the song are widely discussed, and many observers already consider this entry a strong contender for victory at the Benidorm Festival on Sunday. Interestingly, the performance intentionally highlights the term often used to provoke, repeating it forty times:

I know I’m just a bitch

That my past is eating you up

I already know that I’m the black sheep

misunderstood, stone

I already know (I know) that I’m not the person you want

I understand (I know) that makes you desperate

But it’s my nature

Changing for you makes me lazy

I’m in a good moment

It was just a matter of time

I’ll take to the streets to shout out what I feel

to the four winds

If I go out alone I’m a bitch

If I have fun, the sluttiest

If I stretch it out and it’s daylight

I’m even more slutty

When I get what I want (bitch, bitch)

Never ’cause I deserve it (bitch, bitch)

And even though the world is eating me up

Not even a second is worth it

I’m in a good moment

It was just a matter of time

I’ll take to the streets to shout out what I feel

to the four winds

I’m in a good time (bitch, bitch)

Rebuilt inside (bitch, bitch)

And the bitch you were so afraid of got stronger

And now she’s a perfect bitch (bitch, bitch, bitch)

Someone who is no longer in bad shape (bitch, bitch, bitch)

For whom everything is not important

Stone me, yes already

I’m a postcard bitch

I’m a real woman (bitch, bitch, bitch)

And if I act on instinct (bitch, bitch, bitch)

I will become a jackal from a fox, you will fall into thorns

I’m a picture postcard bitch (bitch, bitch, bitch)

I’m in a good moment

It was just a matter of time

I’ll take to the streets to shout out what I feel

to the four winds

I’m in a good place (bitch, bitch, bitch)

Rebuilt inside me (bitch, bitch, bitch)

And the bitch you were so afraid of got stronger

And now she’s a postcard whore
