Together, they released a collaborative project titled RR<\/em> <\/a>inspired by their love, and Rosal\u00eda even got a tattoo of his first name under her left breast. (She references the tattoo on \u201cFocu \u2018Ranni,\u201d another Lux<\/em> track, singing, \u201cI have your name on my ribs, but your initials were never on my heart.\u201d)<\/p>\n The breakup was chronicled all over the media and tabloids, and full of public displays and musical antics. Shortly after the breakup, Alejandro released a song titled \u201cHayami Hana\u201d<\/a> on which he insisted that infidelity was never the reason for their split, and poured out compliments for Rosal\u00eda. And then there was the 2023 Latin Grammys a few months later, where he took the stage \u2014 in Rosal\u00eda\u2019s home country of Spain, no less \u2014 to perform a cover of Laura Pausini\u2019s heartbreak song \u201cSe Fue,\u201d<\/a> which compares the end of a relationship to a powerful storm that ruined him. \u201cHer fairytale smile is gone \/ The sweet honey I tasted on her lips is gone,\u201d he sang.<\/p>\n But back to Rosal\u00eda\u2019s \u201cLa Perla:: \u201cAfter a powerful verse from Yahritza y Su Esencia<\/a>\u2018s Yahritza about this mystery man\u2019s need for a psychiatrist, Rosal\u00eda joins with a sing-songy, spoken line where she describes how her narcissistic ex would see being called an icon as a \u201creductionist narrative.\u201d She then sings, \u201cLoyalty and faithfulness\/Are a language he\u2019ll never understand\/His masterpiece, his collection of bras.\u201d Aside from Rauw Alejandro\u2019s bra-catching skills at concerts, the reggaetonero even has a song with Daddy Yankee titled \u201cPanties y Brasieres\u201d<\/a> on his album Saturno<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Rauw may be the obvious answer, but if you ask any Rosal\u00eda love-life connoisseur, the other possible subject of the song could be The Bear <\/a><\/em>actor Jeremy Allen White. The two of them sparked dating rumors after being spotted together in the year following her breakup with Alejandro. White wore a rose brooch at the Critics\u2019 Choice Awards in January 2024, which many fans took as a nod to the singer. However, they seemed to split later in the year as Allen retreated from public view to play Bruce Springsteen in the biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere.
