Across the chorus, Rosal\u00eda refers to her unnamed figure as a \u201cnational heartbreaker\u201d and an \u201cemotional terrorist.\u201d The title of the song, meanwhile, refers to a Spanish idiom that loosely translates to someone who is a \u201csmart-ass,\u201d or who comes across as charming but can\u2019t be trusted. (Some believe the title might also be a double entendre, alluding to the San Juan district of \u201cLa Perla,\u201d not far from where Rauw Alejandro was born.)<\/p>\n

Last night, Rosal\u00eda stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she discussed her album and did a live performance of \u201cLa Perla,\u201d seemingly making a wink to the track with her two pearly-hued ensembles.<\/p>\n
The first was a cream, textured dress from the Chanel Spring 2026 collection<\/a> by Matthieu Blazy. Continuing her streak of deconstructed designs<\/a>, Rosal\u00eda\u2019s gown featured frayed, distressed details along the bottom hem, creating an asymmetrical skirt, that almost resembled a cluster of shells thanks to the gnarled, knotty fabric. She paired the long-sleeve design with a set of pointy black pumps.<\/p>\n Throughout her visit, the Spanish singer wore two pearly-hued ensembles as a nod to the title of her recent hit song, \u201cLa Perla.\u201d NBC – Getty Images<\/p>\n But one pearly look wasn\u2019t enough. For her performance, Rosal\u00eda switched into a satin, wrap-style bustier top from Miss Claire Sullivan, with a strapless, sculptural wire neckline. She paired the angelic piece with a matching princess skirt from the house, while accessorizing with white tights and a pair of bedazzled silver heels.<\/p>\n The singer perched upon a pile of mattresses, looking like the protagonist from The Princess and the Pea in a moment that felt pointed at her song\u2019s villain. After all, she does sing that his greatest \u201cmasterpiece\u201d is his \u201ccollection of bras.\u201d (Alejandro notoriously collects bras from fans who throw them onstage during his concerts.)<\/p>\n![\"the](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/3d6b0f60db58cdaf74220de877c6352d.jpeg\"\/)
