Full Musical Analysis

"Nicole Kidman" runs on a four-chord minor loop typical of contemporary trap-pop, but the layered gospel sample adds harmonic richness that the chord progression alone doesn't supply. The absence of a conventional dominant (B or B7) keeps the harmony from ever fully resolving, which suits the track's looping, hypnotic production style. Dylan Brady's arrangement stacks the chords with distorted synth textures that obscure traditional voice leading, pushing the harmony into textural territory rather than functional progression.

Adéla wrote "Nicole Kidman" after attending a Golden Globes party in January 2026. While getting ready for the event, she wore a corset she described as "so tight" that she felt like the actress Nicole Kidman — a feeling that became the song's central lyric. She developed the track with co-writers Julia Michaels, Uffie, Billy Walsh, Blake Slatkin, and Dylan Brady, building it around a sample of "In My Father's House" from the 1986 gospel album Praise Him by God's Gospel Angels.
