U2 to Release Track Written About Rosalía

U2 will release their 16th studio album, titled Carnaval De Luz, on November 13. The album features the track The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), which was written about Rosalía. Bono said he was influenced by Rosalía's 2025 album Lux. Bono wanted to secure Rosalía's approval before the song was released and contacted her through Penélope Cruz. According to Bono, Rosalía was supportive of the song, and the two spoke about their shared admiration for Federico García Lorca.

The Mirror Maker began around 2017 as a demo recorded by The Edge under the name Kuti Rocker. The track had several different titles, including Delilah and Child Of The Age, before Rosalía became the subject of the composition. Producer Jacknife Lee said that the version included on Carnaval De Luz is the 196th version of the song.

The closing track on Carnaval De Luz, titled Torn, features the last recorded vocal performance of Dolly Parton. U2 has released two tracks from the album, Street Of Dreams and Silencio. The group also marked their 50th anniversary with performances at Mount Temple School and Bewleys. In other music news, Rosalía will appear on the track Where Is Gone? on the Fontaines D.C. album Dopamine Chamber.
