The song was self-described by the band as an attempt of reclaiming the word "zorra", which is widely used in Spain as a derogatory slang term to call a woman a "bitch" or "slut". It was met with a heavily divided reaction amongst Spanish society. "Zorra" received some praise from both Spanish and international outlets on its attempt to reclaim the word as an empowering term for women. However, it was met with harsh criticism from multiple members and groups of the Spanish feminist community, with the idea of reclaiming a word via repetition in an "empowering" song being challenged. "Zorra" drew commercial success, peaking at number five in its native country of Spain.
