“Soltera” follows breakup anthems “TQG” with Karol G and Bizarrap’s “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53.”
Shakira has announced via social media that her upcoming single will be “Soltera.” The Colombian pop icon was spotted shooting a music video at LIV Nightclub in Miami, accompanied by Mexican pop star Danna and Brazilian singer Anitta. According to Shakira’s team, both artists will only briefly appear in the music video, alongside Lele Pons and Winnie Harlow.
“Soltera” follows breakup anthems “TQG” with Karol G and Bizarrap’s “BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53.” The Spanish-language song’s lyrics include: “I went out to clear my head and I’m tired of being turned off.”
Shakira also sings, “I have the right to behave badly / To have a good time / I’m on the loose and now I can do whatever I want.”
Here is the verse in Spanish:
Salí pa’ despejarme, y ya cansada de estar apagada decidí prenderme,
cambié de amigos porque los que estaban solo hablaban a las malas
me tocó que no tengo nada que perder
y como ellos también.
Pueden opinar, pero yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien, ya estoy suelta
y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera, se pasa rico, soltera,
tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien, ya estoy suelta
According to insiders, Shakira and her team requested attendees to put their phones away and enjoy the performance. It is reported that Winnie Harlow’s boyfriend, Kyle Kuzma, and the rapper French Montana were there. During the music video, Shakira wore a golden mini-dress with a slit in the back. She danced onstage, showing off some of her signature dance moves.
