The long-awaited collaboration between the Colombian singer Shakira and the young Argentine producer Bizarrap came with a song full of messages for the artist's ex-partner, former soccer player Gerard Piqué.
Under the title
BZRP Music Session #53
, Shakira started with messages that were anything but subtle: "so much that you gave yourself the champion and when I needed you, you gave your worst version [...] Sorry that I splashed you."
If a few months ago the Colombian singer Shakira alluded to her breakup with ex-soccer player Gerard Piqué with a kinder tone in her song
Monotonía
, the tone of her new single with the Argentine Bizarrap is anything but cordial: “A lot of gym, but work your brain a little too."
In the first 20 minutes after its publication, the topic garnered almost 2 million views on YouTube, according to the Efe news agency.
And in 11 hours,
more than 25 million.
Shakira had already published a preview of the lyrics of the song on her social networks,
"a wolf like me is not for guys like you"
, which left no one indifferent and confirmed the assumptions that it would be a subject loaded with errands for Piqué.
In fact, the high expectation in the networks increased after the leak of a verse of the song in which the Colombian singer says: "I was big for you, that's why you are with someone just like you.
This is for you to mortify yourself, chew and swallow [...].
I understood that it's not my fault that they criticize you, I only make music, sorry that it splashes you”.
Another of the puns that the artist included refers to Piqué's supposed new partner, Clara Chía: “she has the name of a good person, clearly she is just like you”.
"You changed a Ferrari for a Twingo" and "I'm worth two out of 22" were other messages from the Colombian.

The singer also made reference to other scandals that she has recently starred in, such as the trial with the Treasury in Spain for allegedly defrauding 14.5 million euros.
She also wanted to collect in her lyrics a message of resilience, implying that she became "tougher" after the breakup.
The singer released two singles in 2022 alluding to their breakup:
I congratulate you
, with the Puerto Rican artist Rauw Alejandro, and
Monotonía
, in collaboration with Ozuna, of the same nationality.
On December 1, Shakira and Piqué signed the agreement in a Barcelona court that allows the artist to settle with her two children in Miami.
The agreement was reached after months of negotiations between their legal teams after their separation.
At 24 years old, the Argentine Bizarrap is one of the most requested producers today.
His last collaboration with the Spanish singer Quevedo,
BZRP Music Session #52
, was one of the greatest hits of 2022 and he has made songs with Latin American artists such as Nathy Peluso, Nicky Jam or Residente.
