"Malamente" is a song by Spanish singer Rosalía. It was released on 30 May 2018 by Columbia Records as the lead single from her second studio album, El mal querer (2018). Written by Rosalía and El Guincho and produced by Rosalía and co-produced by El Guincho, it was released on 30 May 2018 through Columbia Records as the album's lead single.

"Malamente" mixes flamenco with urban and pop music. It received positive reviews, and was nominated for five Latin Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year, winning for Best Alternative Song and Best Urban Fusion/Performance. Billboard and Pitchfork named it one of the songs that defined the 2010s. Journalist and writer Leila Cobo included the song in her book ''La fórmula 'Despacito''', which gathers the most emblematic hits of Latin music of the last 50 years. With this release, media dubbed the artist as "Hurricane Rosalía".
