Arca spoke about Bjork's decision to sing in Spanish on this track:
"No, no, no, no. That was her [Björk’s] idea. Rosalía, who was on the same email thread, was helping a little bit with pronunciation. But I really love the way Björk sings, and there is no right or wrong pronunciation. When she sent me her file for the recording [“Afterwards”], I got goosebumps. I was in disbelief. I would have loved for all three of us to do a song together, but it’s really hard to align scheduling."
