At this point, one thing is clear to all men who want a chance with Shakira: if you hurt her, the world will find out what kind of person you are with hair and marks. The one from Barranquilla has not overlooked how betrayed she felt by the father of her children, Gerard Piqué, whom she has made the protagonist of her latest songs, much to her regret.
The former soccer player has been part of the discography of the Colombian artist since they met, back in 2010; but few remember those references to happiness and love: Loca (2010), 23 (2014), La Bicicleta (2017) or Amarillo (2017) -Piqué’s favorite song, with even verses in Catalan- or I fell in love (2017), just to name a few. However, almost everyone can sing word for word the pearls that the singer has dedicated to her in her latest songs, where she leaves no head puppet and talks about apathy, disinterest, infidelity, heartbreak and betrayal.
A title that could lead to confusion due to its kindness, but with lyrics that clear up any doubt: it has nothing to do with happiness or a declaration of love. What’s more, I congratulate you is a whole taunt in itself towards Piqué, with phrases like: “I realized that yours is false, that the straw that broke the camel’s back” or “don’t tell me you’re sorry. That seems sincere, but I know you well and I know you lie.”
A song in which we find a very wounded Shakira, but who finally sees reality and is aware of her partner’s betrayal: “Your wound did not open my skin, but it did open my eyes. I have them red from crying so much for you,” he sings.
If in I congratulate you we saw a rabid Shakira for what had happened, in Monotonía she tells us how the routine and the lack of details engulfed a solid relationship of 12 years and two children, which she tried to save even though the third in discord had already appeared , Clara Chía, now a partner of the former soccer player.
“It wasn’t your fault or mine, it was the monotony’s fault. I never said anything, but it hurt, I knew this would happen. Suddenly you weren’t the same anymore, you left me because of your narcissism, you forgot what one day we went,” he sings. In another sentence, he says: “You, distant with your attitude and that filled me with concern; you did not give even half, but I do know that I gave more than you; I was running for someone, who was not even walking for me,” he sang the artist.
With the third theme, the bombshell arrived. Anger and sadness gave way to rebirth. Shakira was clearly fed up with her ex-partner hanging out with her new partner like it was nothing, and she teamed up with Argentinian producer Bizarrap to create the hit of the year, the Music Sessions.
“You thought you hurt me and you made me tougher. Women don’t cry anymore, women bill”, has already become a phrase for posterity (and a vein for merchandising). An international record song
If Piqué thought that Shakira was going to calm down after having vented beautifully with Bizarrap, he didn’t know who he was facing. Just a few weeks after the release of her success with the Argentine, the one from Barranquilla joined another successful artist and also with a lot to say about heartbreak, Karol G, with whom she published TQG (You Got Big), a song with which He took the opportunity to send more messages to the father of his children.
Phrases like “now you want to go back, it shows; wait for me there, I’m an idiot” implied that the blaugrana would have tried to recover their relationship, while others like “what your girlfriend threw at me, that doesn’t make me angry, I laugh “, they responded to the alleged attacks by Clara Chía.
A calmer Shakira returned with Acrostic a few weeks ago. A song dedicated to her children, where there is no room for Gerard Piqué. Of course, it does not mean that there are no allusions to her past life with the president of Kosmos, because she sings things like: “You taught me that love is not a scam, and that when it is real it does not end” or that “I tried to that you don’t see me cry, that you don’t see my fragility”.
He also sings: “We broke only one plate, not all the crockery, And although I don’t know how to turn the other cheek, Learning to forgive is wise”, or the last one, “If things are damaged, they are not thrown away, they are repaired, the problems They face each other and face each other. You have to laugh at life Even though the wounds hurt.
Shakira’s latest song came just a few hours ago, and it hasn’t left anyone indifferent either. On this occasion, the one from Barranquilla joins the Colombian Manuel Turizo and transforms into a siren to sing, once again, to heartbreak. Phrases like “I don’t know what to do to get more from you, I ask for heat and you only give me ice” or “I am left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty glass. Always so busy with so much business, it would be nice, my love, a little leisure. You don’t have to be a poet to sweeten my ear. Put down the phone, use your hands with me”.
A song that comes accompanied by a video in which Shakira transforms into a mermaid who begins her song lying on a mesh full of garbage and surrounded by rats. Later, you can see how she, who was previously a free mermaid in the sea, ended up caged in a fish tank, in captivity, supervised in every movement by a man (Turizo), who is completely detached from her.
