Songfacts®:

• "Nicole Kidman" is a high-energy pop song about fashion, self-confidence, and the thrill of dressing up like a movie star for a single glamorous night. Throughout the track, Adéla imagines living the celebrity lifestyle, complete with designer footwear ("should I wear Louboutins or Jimmy Choos"), a tightly laced corset, and a driver waiting at the curb.
• Adéla named the song after Academy Award-winning actress Nicole Kidman, whom she views as the ultimate icon of old-Hollywood elegance and star power. The chorus references two of Kidman's films: Baz Luhrmann's musical Moulin Rouge! (2001) and Halina Reijn's erotic thriller Babygirl (2024):
  
  Moulin Rouge, my corset is so tight
  Babygirl in control, I feel like Nicole
  
  "I am a massive Nicole Kidman fan," Adéla told Kiss FM. "To me, she is the embodiment of beauty, glamor and everything that's good. I just love a talented woman."
• The concept was partly inspired by watching Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut. Adéla didn't like the movie at first, but Kidman's performance won her over. "She was so good in it," she noted. "She was the highlight of the movie for me 'cause at first, I hated the movie, but I was like, I loved Nicole."
• The song took shape after a particularly high-profile night out. In January 2026, Adéla attended a Golden Globes afterparty, an event she admitted she was "somehow invited" to.
  
  "I've never been in a movie, but I got all glammed up, put into a dress, had my hair done, and I looked really good," she told W magazine . "My hair was super bouncy, and my corset was so tight that I thought, 'I feel like Nicole Kidman right now.'"
• Adéla co-wrote the track with Julia Michaels, Billy Walsh, Uffie, and producers Blake Slatkin and Dylan Brady. Walsh, Slatkin, and Brady previously teamed up with Adéla on her breakout single, "Ain't In LA."
• The music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, expands on the tribute by recreating iconic visual moments from Kidman's filmography, including Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge!, Birth, and Babygirl. It also nods to Kidman's famous AMC Theatres cinema ad, which became a widespread internet meme.
• Kidman was already aware of the track prior to its release. At the London premiere of Practical Magic 2 on August 26, 2026, a fan asked the actress on camera if she knew who Adéla was. Kidman instantly smiled and replied, "Oh, yes! I do know! I think she's Slovakian, right? I absolutely know who she is, and she's coming to Nashville, and I'm going to go see her!" - referencing an upcoming date on Adéla's Red Bottoms Tour.
  
  The following day, Kidman launched her official TikTok account by sharing behind-the-scenes footage from that premiere, captioned "Magic brought me here," with Adéla's "Ain't In LA" playing as the background audio.
• This is not the first song inspired by Nicole Kidman. Keith Urban, who was married to the actress from 2006 until their split in 2025, wrote several tracks about her throughout their nearly two decades together. These include:
  
  "Once In A Lifetime" and "Got it Right This Time (The Celebration)" both written around their 2006 wedding.
  
  "Thank You" (a confessional he co-wrote with Rick Nowels while Kidman was filming Nine in London).
  
  "The Fighter" (his 2016 duet with Carrie Underwood, inspired by an early conversation with Kidman).
• Did you know Nicole Kidman has a UK #1 single? In 2001, a duet by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman of "Somethin' Stupid" topped the UK chart, becoming that year's Christmas #1. Williams had been a fan of Kidman since seeing her performance in the film musical Moulin Rouge! and asked her to record the Frank and Nancy Sinatra cover with him for his album Swing When You're Winning. It also topped the charts in New Zealand.
• "Nicole Kidman" builds its beat around a sample of "In My Father's House," from the gospel group God's Gospel Angels' 1986 album Praise Him. The same recording had already supplied material for Boldy James and Conductor Williams' "Terms and Conditions" (2024) and G Herbo's "Fallen Soldiers" (2025).
