The story behind the song:
Shakira’s BZRP Music Sessions #53 was created in early 2023 as a powerful musical response to her breakup with Gerard Piqué. The song emerged from a highly intentional writing process: Shakira arrived at the studio with a list of ideas she wanted to express, aiming for a tone that was sharp but not excessive, and co writer Kaitlyn helped craft the lyrics to reflect her vision. Many of the song’s most iconic lines, including the clever wordplay referencing Piqué and his new partner, came directly from Shakira herself. The recording process was demanding, with Shakira pushing for precision to ensure every message landed clearly. When released, the song became a global cultural moment, combining personal references, emotional empowerment, and memorable metaphors to create a viral diss track that broke records and resonated worldwide.
