Shakira continues unstoppable. The Colombian artist is knowing how to take advantage of her breakup with Gerard Piqué in the media, and she is doing it the way she knows best: through her music. There are now no less than four songs that she has dedicated to the father of her children -I congratulate you, Monotonía, BZRP Music Session
If the one from Barranquilla recognized that her collaboration with Bizarrap served as a “catharsis” for her to talk about the breakup, her union with the one from Medellín in Te quedo grande (TQG) undoubtedly showed a Shakira determined to slam everything she had experienced. Proof of this were the messages and images that were seen, but also those that many seem to have overlooked, because there is more than what is seen and heard, such as Shakira’s hidden and super-explicit message to Piqué between the lyrics. of the song.
In Te quedo grande, Karol G and Shakira are at ease against their ex-partners, Anuel AA and Piqué, but it seems that Shakira took the opportunity to send a harsh message between the lines to the father of her children.
You have to listen well, because it is not exactly easy to perceive it. At one point in the song, Shakira laughs and says ‘f*ck you’, which is a classic “fuck you*” in our language. Pay attention, minute 3:15.
Intentional or not, it is the way the woman from Barranquilla chooses to say goodbye in the song, before closing the door that will take her away forever from the lie in which she has apparently been living all this time.
Let’s remember that the artists planned the entire music video -directed by Pedro Artola- as a tribute to one of the best films of the 20th century, The Truman Show (1998), by Peter Weir. The most significant moment, coincidentally where Shakira releases her most explicit and almost imperceptible shot, is the final shot.
Recreating Truman’s departure from his peculiar world, the artists can be seen on the mythical stairs, in a sky painted on a wall, similar to the scene from the fictional film. There, the two leave the “set” as Jim Carrey’s character did, making a declaration of intent: their life will not be a hoax in public view anymore and they will recover themselves.
