GIULIA BE Releases “tonta,” A Dance-Driven Spanish Pop Confession That Closes Her 2025 Chapter

GIULIA BE officially releases “tonta,” her new Spanish-language single, arriving on all digital platforms this Thursday (11) at 9 p.m., alongside its official music video. The track marks the final release in her 2025 trilingual rollout, blending vibrant Latin-pop energy with a renewed focus on dance, movement, and emotional honesty, all while preserving the melodic signature that defines her sound.

“tonta” isn’t just a song, it’s a moment of realization, vulnerability, and surrender.

A Song Born in Isolation, About Emotional Exposure

Written during the pandemic, “tonta” captures a deeply personal emotional state. As GIULIA explains, it was created at a time when “the world outside was on fire, and I was waiting for a message that left me defenseless.”

The song centers on a simple yet powerful idea: someone accustomed to goodbyes suddenly realizes that this time, it’s their own heart at stake. It’s not about innocence, it’s about awareness.

“Feeling ‘tonta’ doesn’t mean you’re being naïve quite the opposite. It’s about understanding that, for the first time, Cupid’s arrow hit you without permission. That spell-like charm, that person who suddenly knocks you off your axis,” GIULIA shares.

The result is a track that feels emotionally exposed but rhythmically alive, a balance that has become a defining trait of her artistry.

A Hybrid Latin Sound With Global Production Power

“tonta” is produced by Fux, the Puerto Rican hitmaker known for work with Sebastián Yatra and Ozuna, alongside Panamanian duo XAXO, whose credits include Alejandro Sanz, Jason Derulo, and Marc Anthony.

Together, they craft a hybrid sonic palette that blends:

• Reggaeton
• R&B
• Afrobeat
• Latin pop

The production is fluid, modern, and rhythm-forward, designed to move while still leaving space for introspection.

Dance Takes Center Stage in the Music Video

The sonic identity of “tonta” fully unfolds in its official music video, directed by Olivia Mucida. Here, dance returns as a central pillar of GIULIA’s visual storytelling.

Movement, closeness, and pulse guide the choreography, reinforcing the emotional tension of the song. GIULIA also steps into a leadership role behind the scenes, signing on as creative director alongside Olivia Mucida and Lennyn Salinas, ensuring the visual language stays rooted in her Latin identity and artistic vision.

The result is a visual that feels intimate, physical, and emotionally charged, not performative, but expressive.

Closing 2025, Opening a Bigger Vision for 2026

“tonta” closes a productive and stylistically diverse year for GIULIA BE, following releases such as:

• “fool for love”
• “bye bye bahia”
• “viciada”
• “delícia proibida”
• “poltergeist”

Now, she turns toward 2026, where she will resume her most ambitious project to date:
a universe of 21 songs and 21 music videos, each revealing a different layer of her creative identity.

“These are songs I’ve been collecting over the past few years. Some I wrote nine years ago, others just four months ago. They are fragments of deeply personal stories not always about me that reveal an internal abundance of perspectives and musical styles,” GIULIA explains.
“That’s why I gave the project my own name; it’s the clearest reflection of the creative processes happening in my mind every single day.”

A Trilingual Identity With Purpose

The structure of the GIULIA BE project mirrors how the artist organizes her creative world:

• English — connected to her life between Brazil and the United States
• Spanish — tied to emotional intensity
• Portuguese — rooted in heritage, memory, and affection

Each language plays a specific emotional role, allowing GIULIA to express different dimensions of herself with intention and clarity.

A Rising Global Voice With Creative Control

Part of Sony Music’s global roster, under the label’s international division and with direct support from executive Afo Verde, GIULIA BE enters a moment of clear creative maturity.

Developed alongside her brother Dany Marinho and producers who have worked with Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, and Madonna, the GIULIA BE project positions her as an artist with authorship, coherence, and global reach.

Designed to resonate across Brazil, Latin America, the United States, and Europe, this body of work doesn’t chase trends it builds a universe.

With “tonta,” GIULIA BE closes one chapter and confidently steps into the next, reaffirming her place as one of the rising voices of her generation.
