Composition and lyric
editIn an interview with Rolling Stone in April 2025,[2] Marina discussed the release of her empowering new single "Cuntissimo", which dropped alongside the announcement of her sixth studio album, Princess of Power. Musically, the song is an anthemic techno-pop and electropop track inspired by glamorous, brave, and confident women "who enjoy life to the max". Marina elaborated that "Cuntissimo" draws inspiration from iconic women throughout history who embodied the qualities of strength, pleasure, and independence, listing figures such as Madonna, Elizabeth Taylor, Rihanna, and Sophia Loren as representations of the song's ethos.[3]
Marina explained the song's central theme is pleasure, something she believes women have been denied for centuries due to patriarchal pressures. She said "Cuntissimo" serves as a defiant anthem, a bold statement of reclaiming power and rejecting the societal constraints placed upon women.
Music video
editAn accompanying music video for "Cuntissimo" premiered on April 11, 2025, and was directed by Dominican-American filmmaker Olivia de Camps. The opening shot is filmed at Villa del Balbianello.[3] Ahead of its release, Marina shared a teaser on April 8, generating anticipation for the video's release.
