"Disciplina" (transl. "discipline") is a song recorded by Argentine singerLali. The song was released bySony Music Argentina on January 12, 2022, as thelead single from Lali's fifth studio album,Lali (2023). The song was written by Lali, Martín D'Agosto, Dano, and Mauro De Tommaso, and produced by the latter two.
The song received a nomination for Hottest Choreography (which stands for Best Choreography) at thePremios Juventud of 2022.[2] Meanwhile, its music video won Best Music Video at the 2023Gardel Awards.[3]
Described as "sexy, energetic and catchy",[4] "Disciplina" is an uptempo song blendingpop anddance beats.[5] The song marks Lali's comeback to her pop music origins after exploringLatin sounds likereggaeton andtrap in her previous recordsBrava andLibra.[6] Its "dark and sultry, hot and heavy"[1] lyrics see Lali venturing intoerotic practices known asBDSM, especiallydiscipline,dominance and submission.[7]
The "blood red-hued"[1] accompanyingmusic video for "Disciplina" was released along with the song on January 12, 2022. The video was directed by Renderpanic and produced by The Movement, and it depicts Lali as adominatrix. The clip, which is inspired inBerlin's raves, takes place on a "gigantic"industrial set in which adancefloor was set up where Lali and a group of dancers of different genres perform an "electric" choreography that gradually raises the temperature of the place, until they end up exhausted on the ground.[8] The video was compared toRihanna's "Disturbia" andLady Gaga's "Bad Romance".[5] Bradley Stern ofMuuMuse wrote that "there's no doubt Lali is a student ofBritney [Spears], as the throbbing tune and searing hot visual supply shades of everything from the "I'm a Slave 4 U" orgies toBlackout to "Work Bitch". There's a little RihannaRated R dominatrix edge andMiley [Cyrus]'s "Wrecking Ball" with the giant chain, too."[1]
Lali performed "Disciplina" live for the first time during the9th Annual Platino Awards on May 1, 2022. Lali, who also hosted the ceremony alongsideMiguel Ángel Muñoz, "showed all her talent," and once the performance was over "the standing ovation was inevitable".[9]
