Nicole Kidman (song)

"Nicole Kidman" was inspired by Adéla's attendance at a Golden Globes party in January 2026, to which she said she was "somehow invited". While preparing for the event, she "got all glammed up" and wore a corset that she described as "so tight" that she felt like the actress Nicole Kidman. The experience later became a lyric in the song.^[2]

On 25 August 2026, Adéla announced the track listing for her debut studio album Prima, which included "Nicole Kidman" as its second track.^[3][4] Following the announcement, Kidman was asked about the song at the premiere of Practical Magic 2 on 26 August.
