U2 to Feature Song About Rosalía on New Album

U2 will release their 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz, on November 13. The album marks the band's first collection of new material since 2017. The tracklist includes a song written about Rosalía titled The Mirror Maker (Rosalía), which appears as the fourth track. U2 previously shared two songs from the project, Street Of Dreams and Silencio.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Bono shared details about the track. Bono stated that he was influenced by Rosalía's 2025 album Lux, which addresses spirituality and religious imagery. The origins of The Mirror Maker date back to around 2017 as a Fela Kuti-influenced demo named Kuti Rocker. Producer Jacknife Lee noted that the track included on the album is the 196th version of the song.

Bono said he did not want to release a song carrying Rosalía's name without her approval. Rosalía was supportive of the song, and the two exchanged messages discussing their mutual admiration for Federico García Lorca, though they have never met face-to-face. Rosalía is also featured on the track Where Is Gone? from Fontaines D.C.'s fifth album, Dopamine Chamber, scheduled for release on October 16 through XL Recordings.
