Shakira and Karol G stir up their ex-partners with the gentle dogging of 'TQG'

Mourning and fury have passed and, before definitively turning the page, it is a question of leaving a coda with the last reproaches, but expressed with softness and elegance.

Two women joining forces to settle scores with their ex-partners, both famous.

The Colombians Karol G (Medellín, 32 years old) and Shakira (Barranquilla, 46 years old) have launched today the widely publicized

“Tell your new baby that I don't compete for men.

/ That he stop throwing away, that at least I had a pretty look”, Shakira sings.

"What we lived through I forgot, that's what has you turned on," says another part of the lyrics, which insists: "Now you want to go back, it shows."

Musically it is a soft and rhythmic reggaeton, far from the pounding pieces of the genre.

The two interpreters are passing the baton to offer a sensual and sophisticated dogging.

It is a song that will not produce rejection even by the relentless haters of reggaeton.

The collaboration between the two Colombians had been cooking for years.

Karol G (real name Carolina Giraldo Navarro) has always been a follower of Shakira and has grown up with her music (14 years separate them).

Neither of them has confirmed this episode.

Things have changed a lot in recent seasons with Karol G launched in popularity and prestige.

But Karol G's path has not been easy in a genre, reggaeton, especially dominated by men.

On some occasion she has told the Colombian how her first contacts in the music industry were, when she was barely 18 years old: a senior record executive summoned her to her office and did not stop making sexual advances to her.

She left there slamming the door and decided that her crusade, in addition to being musical, would be feminist.
