Despite having no budget to produce the record as she was an independent artist working on a university project, Rosalía invested a lot of her own money, to the point of "almost going bankrupt". The album was almost completely recorded at el Guincho's apartment in Barcelona with a computer, a microphone and a sound table. It would mix traditional flamenco with today's pop and urban music.
In May 2018, the singer announced the title of her upcoming album in a little homemade YouTube series.{{Citation|title=ROSALÍA'18 #003 – EL MAL QUERER (Parte 3)| date=15 May 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQm6RuoKkk4|access-date=18 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190410184232/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQm6RuoKkk4|archive-date=10 April 2019|url-status=live|via=YouTube}} J Balvin parallelly released his fifth studio album, Vibras, which featured Rosalía on the track "Brillo".

Upon release, Motomami received universal acclaim from music critics, many of whom praised the experimentation and genre-bending sounds. Motomami received a perfect score from various publications, including The Telegraph, The Independent and Variety and was given four stars or more by Clash, Rolling Stone, Rockdelux, The Guardian etc. Pitchfork crowned Motomami with its "Best New Music" honor writing, "It feels rare to hear an album that's so experimental, that aspires to stretch itself out across genres and play with form, and that attains exactly what it sets out to achieve. Rosalía was already a formidable singer, but here she also sounds like she learned that with global superstardom comes the freedom to set her own agenda".

The setlist featured four unreleased tracks including "Despechá", which was later released on 28 July to global success.{{Cite web |date=20 July 2022 |title="Despechá": la canción inédita de Rosalía convertida en un éxito |url=https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20220720/despecha-cancion-inedita-rosalia-convertida-exito/2389909.shtml |access-date=26 July 2022 |website=RTVE.es |language=es |archive-date=26 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220726011716/https://www.rtve.es/noticias/20220720/despecha-cancion-inedita-rosalia-convertida-exito/2389909.shtml |url-status=live }} Rosalía later took part in the forthcoming projects by Romeo Santos, Niño de Elche, and Wisin & Yandel.{{Cite web |title=Romeo Santos revela los temas de su nuevo disco y no creerás las colaboraciones |url=https://www.telemundo.com/shows/premios-billboard/romeo-santos-colaborara-con-rosalia-y-justin-timberlake-en-formula-vol-rcna44916 |access-date=2022-10-07 |website=TELEMUNDO.com |date=25 August 2022 |language=es |archive-date=7 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221007161528/https://www.telemundo.com/shows/premios-billboard/romeo-santos-colaborara-con-rosalia-y-justin-timberlake-en-formula-vol-rcna44916 |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |date=2022-10-06 |title=Rosalía cantará la "seguiriya madre" en el disco de Niño de Elche |url=https://jenesaispop.com/2022/10/06/442556/rosalia-nino-de-elche/ |access-date=2022-10-07 |website=jenesaispop.com |language=es |archive-date=7 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221007161519/https://jenesaispop.com/2022/10/06/442556/rosalia-nino-de-elche/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |date=2022-09-30 |title=Rosalía revisa junto a Wisin y Yandel su gran éxito 'Besos Moja2' |url=https://www.lavanguardia.com/cultura/20220930/8549115/rosalia-wisin-y-yandel-besos-moja2.html |access-date=2022-10-07 |website=La Vanguardia |language=es |archive-date=8 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221008125434/https://www.lavanguardia.com/cultura/20220930/8549115/rosalia-wisin-y-yandel-besos-moja2.html |url-status=live }}
At the 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards in November 2022, Motomami won the four categories in which it was nominated in, which were Album of the Year, Best Alternative Music Album, Best Engineered Album and Best Recording Package.

On 24 March, she released RR, a collaborative EP with her then boyfriend, singer Rauw Alejandro, and released the single "Beso" to global success.

Rosalía's music has been described as "challenging" both for her and for the listener.{{Cite web |last1=Avila |first1=Daniela |date=March 16, 2022 |first2=Rachel |last2=DeSantis |title=Rosalía Finds Her 'Playful' Side on Forthcoming Album Motomami: 'Why Did I Forget?' |url=https://people.com/music/rosalia-finds-playful-side-on-upcoming-album-motomami/ |access-date=17 March 2022 |website=PEOPLE.com |language=en |archive-date=17 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220317025955/https://people.com/music/rosalia-finds-playful-side-on-upcoming-album-motomami/ |url-status=live }} Noted for the conceptuality and constant genre transformation of her albums and singles, Rosalía's music has evolved from folk to the mainstream and avant-pop. As Rosalía has a master's degree in flamenco interpretation, she started her professional career as a full flamenco singer. 2017 saw the release of her debut album Los Ángeles, a folk record in which Rosalía "is posited as the contemporary cantaora who has better understood the current times".{{Cite web |date=10 February 2017 |title=Rosalía, crítica del disco Los Ángeles (2017) |url=https://www.mondosonoro.com/criticas/discos-musica/rosalia-los-angeles/ |access-date=17 March 2022 |website=MondoSonoro |language=es |archive-date=17 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220517000640/https://www.mondosonoro.com/criticas/discos-musica/rosalia-los-angeles/ |url-status=live }} The singer has, ever since, been described as "an old soul trapped in a young body" due to the maturity of the genre.{{Cite web |date=23 November 2017 |title=Likes: Rosalía, la cantaora que una nueva generación necesitaba. |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBrWLotTwvo |access-date=17 March 2022 |website=YouTube |archive-date=17 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220317140842/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBrWLotTwvo |url-status=live }} After the release of "Malamente" in May 2018, which rose the singer's popularity to a national level, her music was described as a "heavily exciting fusion of flamenco and modern arts". American magazine Pitchfork called the singer's voice "a soft liquid velvet" and wrote that "Malamente consumes the listener with drums and soft synthesizers that drag you to their world completely". After releasing El mal querer later that year, The Guardian gave it a perfect score and stated: "the Catalan singer's potent, smart second album is more complex than any Latin pop currently in the charts". During the three-year droplet era that started with the 2019 release "Con altura", Rosalía's music evolved to a more mainstream urbano field without leaving the flamenco essence that characterizes her artistry.{{Cite magazine |last=Exposito |first=Suzy |date=28 March 2019 |title=Rosalía and J Balvin Fly High in New Video for 'Con Altura (feat.

Rosalía has cited the 2011 eponymous album by James Blake as one of the most impactful records of her life.
In his El mal querer review, The Guardian{{'}}s Alexis Petridis wrote: "She can really sing [...] but her voice is audibly rooted in a different musical tradition to the usual styles in which pop vocalists perform. The standard set of tricks (post-Whitney extemporisation overload, sub-Winehouse aged soul, please-compare-me-to-Kate-Bush kooky swooping, etc) are all noticeable by their absence. Instead, her voice is powerful and gutsily emotive: her melismas sound more Middle Eastern than Mariah Carey. Despite her wide vocal range, Rosalía tends to use Auto-Tune aesthetically in songs and live performances.{{Cite web |title=¡Es un fenómeno!

The songwriting skills of Rosalía have recently been questioned and criticized for being "random" and "kitsch." Generally, her lyrics deal with various topics and contain multiple references to general and pop culture. Those references can also be seen in her visual work, which she considers the "crucial way of communication between the artist and the consumer."{{Cite web |title=El diseño tras Rosalía: talento, trabajo, pasión y frescura visual |url=https://valenciaplaza.com/el-diseno-tras-rosalia-talento-trabajo-pasion-y-frescura-visual |access-date=17 March 2022 |website=Cultur Plaza |language=es |archive-date=25 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220325003134/https://valenciaplaza.com/el-diseno-tras-rosalia-talento-trabajo-pasion-y-frescura-visual |url-status=live }} Graphic artist Carlota Guerrero is one of the singer's best friends.{{Cite web |title=Carlota Guerrero, una mirada feminista para romper con los cánones del arte |url=http://www.efe.com/efe/espana/cultura/carlota-guerrero-una-mirada-feminista-para-romper-con-los-canones-del-arte/10005-4525345 |access-date=17 March 2022 |website=EFE |language=es |archive-date=3 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220603104838/https://www.efe.com/efe/espana/cultura/carlota-guerrero-una-mirada-feminista-para-romper-con-los-canones-del-arte/10005-4525345 |url-status=live }} Rosalía's visual inspiration mainly comes from Spanish tradition and Eastern culture, mainly Japanese. The singer has a wide knowledge of art history, which she translates to the public by constantly recreating religious portraits, contemporary paintings, and movie scenes within her musical projects. She has cited Pedro Almodóvar and Andrei Tarkovsky as her favorite filmmakers, Gaspar Noé's Enter the Void (2009) and Wong Kar-wai's Fallen Angels (1995) as her favorite films, and Jean-Michel Basquiat as her favorite artist.{{Cite web |date=28 May 2020 |title=La Rosalía cita a Gaspar Noé y nosotros sus mejores películas |url=https://revistayoung.es/2020/05/29/cine/actualidad-cine/la-rosalia-cita-a-gaspar-noe-y-nosotros-sus-mejores-peliculas/ |access-date=17 March 2022 |website=YOUNG España |language=es |archive-date=8 November 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221108011536/https://revistayoung.es/2020/05/29/cine/actualidad-cine/la-rosalia-cita-a-gaspar-noe-y-nosotros-sus-mejores-peliculas/ |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |date=4 February 2022 |title=El motor creatiu de "Motomami" de Rosalía |url=https://www.ccma.cat/catradio/5-songs/el-motor-creatiu-de-motomami-de-rosalia/noticia/3143859/ |access-date=17 March 2022 |website=CCMA |language=ca |archive-date=17 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220317140840/https://www.ccma.cat/catradio/5-songs/el-motor-creatiu-de-motomami-de-rosalia/noticia/3143859/ |url-status=live }} Art critic Harold Rosenberg's writings on action painting also inspire her stage performances.{{Cite news |last=Amadour |first=Ricky |date=October 12, 2022 |title=Concert Review: Rosalía at the Sofi Stadium's YouTube Theater |url=https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/concert-review-rosalia-at-the-sofi-stadiums-youtube-theater/ |newspaper=Lamag - Culture, Food, Fashion, News & Los Angeles |access-date=16 April 2023 |archive-date=16 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230416030548/https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/concert-review-rosalia-at-the-sofi-stadiums-youtube-theater/ |url-status=live }}
Rosalía has been accused of cultural appropriation by some Romani people because she adapts Romani customs into her style and draws from the flamenco music tradition, which is often thought to be from Romani people in Andalusia. However, the origin of flamenco music is not known precisely, and it probably fused musical practices from three sources: Moorish, Jewish and Romani cultures. Responding to this criticism, Rosalía said, "music is universal."{{cite news |last=Beatley |first=Meaghan |date=14 November 2018 |title=Grammy nominee Rosalía's flamenco fame is questioned by Spain's Roma community |url=https://www.pri.org/stories/2018-11-14/award-winning-rosal-flamenco-fame-questioned-spains-roma-community |url-status=live |work=GlobalPost |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200331014925/https://www.pri.org/stories/2018-11-14/award-winning-rosal-flamenco-fame-questioned-spains-roma-community |archive-date=31 March 2020}}

Rosalía has cited Camarón de la Isla, James Blake and Björk as her major musical influences. In 2019 she told MTV "when I was 13 years old I started listening to him [Camarón de la Isla] by chance. This genre, flamenco, was what my high-school friends listened to and so did I. When I discovered him I was like 'oh my God!' I didn't think anyone was capable to sing with such a voice; it would go right through me so heartily. He was my introduction to flamenco. Thanks to him I discovered this vast universe within this music style which is almost endless and very exciting." Another flamenco influence of Rosalía is La Niña de los Peines. She states that despite not enjoying her recordings at first, she ended up appreciating her melodies and realized that she was a true pioneer since most flamenco singers were men at the time she became popular. She said: "flamenco is a masculine art form by tradition and there she was, with all her creativity as a woman. She became a professional at the time when it was very unusual".{{Citation |title=Inspired With Rosalía (MTV Push) {{!}} MTV Music | date=27 January 2019 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMA8xZn8XmA |language=en |access-date=17 November 2019 |archive-date=11 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200411164719/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMA8xZn8XmA&gl=US&hl=en |url-status=live }}

His music has left a mark on me; not only the bold character of his production but also its minimalism and free structures. When I listen to him, I can feel that he allows himself a lot of freedom. I personally think that he doesn't do music to please nobody but only for himself." Rosalía collaborated with Blake on his song "Barefoot in the Park", which was released as the fourth single of his 2019 album Assume Form. She has also cited Aventura, Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, Héctor Lavoe, Kate Bush, Nina Simone, Queen, Supertramp, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, Kanye West, Rihanna, Lil' Kim, Lole y Manuel, M.I.A., Shakira, Tego Calderón, David Bowie, Pharrell Williams and Lauryn Hill as direct musical inspirations.{{cite web|date=15 November 2018|title=Rosalía Shouts-Out Lauryn Hill, Kate Bush And More Women During Latin GRAMMY Speech|url=https://www.grammy.com/grammys/news/rosal%C3%ADa-shouts-out-lauryn-hill-kate-bush-and-more-women-during-latin-grammy-speech|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190403152335/https://www.grammy.com/grammys/news/rosal%C3%ADa-shouts-out-lauryn-hill-kate-bush-and-more-women-during-latin-grammy-speech|archive-date=3 April 2019|access-date=20 March 2019|work=The Grammys}}{{cite web|language=Spanish|author=P.

And having options that other people don't have", stating that this is more of a political issue and a matter of privileges.{{Cite web|title=Rosalía reconoce que la apropiación cultural es un tema de privilegio|url=https://www.efe.com/efe/espana/cultura/rosalia-reconoce-que-la-apropiacion-cultural-es-un-tema-de-privilegio/10005-3943725|access-date=1 August 2020|website=EFE|language=es|archive-date=4 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190404054106/https://www.efe.com/efe/espana/cultura/rosalia-reconoce-que-la-apropiacion-cultural-es-un-tema-de-privilegio/10005-3943725|url-status=live}} Following her win for Best Latin Video for "Con Altura" at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards, Rosalía broached a related discussion, as to whether the expression "Latin" (derived from a Romance language, like Spanish) has been misunderstood and has evolved to the English interpretation of "Latino" (person from Latin American countries previously ruled by the Spanish and Portuguese empires), extending the debate about cultural appropriation and whether she should or should not be nominated in Latin categories at award shows.{{Cite web|title=Breakout music star Rosalía highlights Latin artist vs. Latinx debate|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/breakout-music-star-rosal-highlights-latin-artist-vs-latinx-debate-n1046301|access-date=1 August 2020|website=NBC News|date=26 August 2019 |language=en|archive-date=26 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190826211059/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/breakout-music-star-rosal-highlights-latin-artist-vs-latinx-debate-n1046301|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|date=28 August 2019|title=¿Es Rosalía latina?: la polémica en EE.UU. tras el triunfo de la cantante española en los MTV Video Music Awards|language=es|work=BBC News Mundo|url=https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-49492160|access-date=1 August 2020|archive-date=30 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200630232716/https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-49492160|url-status=live}} Rosalía also discussed the topic at the 2020 Latin Billboard Music Week, where Leila Cobo, host of VP Latin, stated: "Billboard categorizes music sung in the Spanish language as Latin music.

The two remain close friends; Schafer considers her to be "family no matter what". She further explained, "It's been so much speculation for so long.

Rosalía identifies as a feminist. After being congratulated at the 2019 Billboard Women in Music gala, the singer stated: "I was fifteen when I entered a recording studio for the first time having all these women as references. I was so shocked by the fact that there were only men in that session that, since that moment, I've been fighting for having the same number of men and women in the studio. As simple as that".{{Cite web|last=Zanelli|first=Marco|date=14 December 2019|title=Rosalía envió un poderoso mensaje feminista durante los 'Billboard Mujeres en la Música'|url=https://rpp.pe/famosos/celebridades/rosalia-envio-un-poderoso-mensaje-feminista-durante-los-billboard-mujeres-en-la-musica-noticia-1234778|access-date=3 September 2020|website=RPP|language=es|archive-date=15 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191215034616/https://rpp.pe/famosos/celebridades/rosalia-envio-un-poderoso-mensaje-feminista-durante-los-billboard-mujeres-en-la-musica-noticia-1234778|url-status=live}} Rosalía has a garter belt buckle tattooed on her left thigh in reference to a 1970 body art performance by Valie Export. "In the tattoo, the garter appears as a symbol of a past slavery, the dress as the suppression of sexuality, the garter as an attribute of a femininity not determined by ourselves. A social ritual that covers one of the physical needs, the opposition of our culture to the body is clear. The garter as a sign of belonging to a class that demands a specific behavior becomes a memory."{{Cite web |date=24 May 2022 |title=¿Qué significa exactamente el tatuaje que Rosalía tiene en su pierna? |url=https://www.vogue.es/moda/articulos/tatuaje-rosalia-pierna-significado-valie-export |access-date=26 July 2022 |website=Vogue España |language=es-ES |archive-date=26 July 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220726015119/https://www.vogue.es/moda/articulos/tatuaje-rosalia-pierna-significado-valie-export |url-status=live }}
