After more than a decade of marriage, Shakira, 45, and Pique, 35, an ex-footballer for Barcelona, got divorced in 2022.
Additionally, the couple has two children together.
Shakira collaborates with Argentinian producer and DJ Bizarrap for the first time on this four-minute pop song.
Shakira joins J Balvin, Luis Fonsi, and Daddy Yankee on the illustrious list of Latin artists who have set YouTube records.
It’s not her first song about the breakup; three months ago, she released Monotonia, which was more about heartbreak than seeking vengeance.
Shakira sings about Pique’s new alleged 23-year-old partner in the diss track.
She compares the relationship to trading “a Ferrari for a [Renault] Twingo” and “a Rolex for a Casio” in Spanish, stating that she is “worth two 22-year-olds.”
The Colombian singer also talks about her fight with Spanish authorities, who say she didn’t pay €14.5 million (£12.8 million) in income tax.
In the song, Shakira seems to say that Pique left her while all of this was happening, with her in-laws as neighbors.
She sings, “Lots of time at the gym, but your brain needs a little work too,” and she also criticizes his workout method.
Gerard Pique has been posting about his new seven-song project, King’s League, but he has not responded to the song online.
When they split up in June of last year, they said they were focusing on co-parenting Milan, who is nine years old, and Sasha, who is seven years old.
