Addtional information
“Tiro” is the 4th song of Arca’s fifth studio album “KICK ii”, released on November 30, 2021. The track was produced by Arca, the German electronic music producer Boyz Noize, and the Venezuelan DJ and producer CardoPusher.
In an interview with “PAPER”, Arca revealed that she initially intended to include the song on her 2020 album “KiCk i”, but it ended up being discarded. However, later that year, on May 24, when Arca announced the initial tracklist for this project, “Tiro” was included as the 6th track and later moved to the 4th position. This demonstrates the significance and evolution of the song within Arca’s creative journey.
Interestingly, an unfinished version of “Tiro” was played at a concert in early 2021 and on some livestreams throughout the year. This allowed fans to catch a glimpse of the song’s development and witness its transformation into the final version that we now have.

The lyrics, though in Spanish, convey a sense of empowerment and confidence, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.
One aspect of the song that truly resonates with me is its fusion of different genres, including pop, dance, Latin music, and experimental sounds. Arca’s ability to seamlessly blend these elements showcases her versatility as an artist and pushes the boundaries of conventional music.
