Belinda's ‘Heterocomía' won't generate much revenue — but the catharsis was worth it
Mexican superstar Belinda knew she wouldn't generate much revenue from her viral song 'Heterocomía.' She did it anyway. In an interview with CNN en Español, the singer revealed that she brokered a costly deal with Disney to secure the rights to the theme from the 1970 animated film 'The Aristocats.' 'I don't think I will see those royalties, ever' said Belinda in the interview with Juan Carlos Arciniegas. 'But it was worth it.' She put her own spin on a 20-second sound bite from the film's original soundtrack, and used it to kick off her track 'Heterocomía' which was released earlier this summer as part of her comeback fifth studio album, 'Indómita.' '[The Aristocats] is a classic,' said Belinda. 'And I imagined that introduction because it's the vibe of the song.' The Spanish-born singer, who is also of French descent, didn't stick to the original lyrics sung by Maurice Chevalier. Instead, she added her own flare, puffing up the bourgeois frippery of the original song to meet this modern moment: 'Which cats wear Loro Piana? What cats only play golf? Which cats drink Aperol? Naturellement, the Aristocats.' The song's fairy-tale introduction quickly devolves into a gloomier tale riddled with deception — and the culminating moment of realization that she had been fooled by a two-faced lover. 'I obsess over the intros in songs and that they sound one way and then completely break off into another song,' said Belinda. Following the release of her fifth studio album, Belinda drew attention to these lyrics with a homemade TikTok dance video, which has amassed more than 14 million views since its upload on June 8. Many online fans began to speculate that the song hinted at Belinda's past romantic relationship with Gonzalo Hevia Baillères, a billionaire heir whose family owns El Palacio de Hierro, Mexico City's upscale department store and made their fortune mining the country. Hevia Baillères has heterochromia, a condition in which one's eyes are two different colors. It is also the namesake for this seething track. Belinda has not confirmed the validity of these comparisons to the public, but the song's scorching lyrics might provide some insight: 'You are old money, they call you Bunny, and I'll pass your palace through my booty.' So while Disney may keep a majority of the royalties from the song, it looks like Belinda is walking away with something that money can't buy: sweet revenge.

Poland beats Denmark for first ever Women's European Championship win
LUCERNE, Switzerland (AP) — Natalia Padilla scored one goal and set up the others for Poland's first ever Women's European Championship win, 3-2 over Denmark in their final group game on Saturday. Poland is appearing in the tournament for the first time and the Spanish-born Padilla got the country's first ever goal when she opened the scoring in the 13th minute, pouncing on a rebound to fire past Maja Bay Østergaard after Ewa Pajor's initial effort was blocked at the right post. 'We waited a long time for it,' Poland coach Nina Patalon told UEFA. 'We wanted to score that one goal, and we scored three. Today I am so proud of my girls and just so, so happy.' Padilla followed her goal by crossing for Pajor to head in the second in the 20th. Denmark suffered another blow five minutes later when captain Pernille Harder went off with what looked like a hamstring injury. Denmark was already without Emma Snerle, who suffered a head injury during Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Germany. Denmark players paused during their pre-game warmup to pose with Snerle's jersey, while Danish fans also displayed a large banner wishing her well. Denmark pulled one back through Janni Thomsen before the hour-mark when Kinga Szemik let her long-range effort slip through her fingers. Martyna Wiankowska scored Poland's third against the run of play in the 76th when Padilla's attempted shot from Pajor's cross turned into a layoff for the substitute to fire in off the underside of the crossbar. Forward Signe Bruun finally got her goal in the 83rd after several close attempts, setting up a nervy finale, but Poland held on for a momentous win. "We were so looking forward to that final whistle! Those emotions are still with me, and will probably stay with me for the rest of my life,' Patalon said. Neither team had any hope of emerging from Group C after losing their opening games. Sweden defeated Germany 4-1 in the other match to top the group.
