In “Te felicito” and “Monotonía” pop star Shakira (45) already dealt properly with her ex-partner Gerard Piqué. In her new song “BZRP Music Sessions #53” with producer and DJ Bizarrap, the Colombian singer seems to be screaming all her anger against the father of her two children.
gone stranger
Shakira and the former Spanish soccer player from FC Barcelona met in 2010 while filming the music video for her song “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)”, the official song of the soccer World Cup 2010. After more than ten years together, the two separated in the summer of 2022. The reason was Piqué’s affair with the much younger student Clara Chia, who works as an intern in his sports event company Kosmos.
Shakira now wants to leave the Spanish Mediterranean metropolis of Barcelona and move to Miami with the children. But before that, Shakira settles accounts with her ex in her new song. He apparently thinks he hurt her, but he made her stronger, Shakira sings. Even if he acts like a champion, he showed his worst side when she needed him. But Piqué’s new partner also gets her fat. She is worth as much as two 22-year-olds, Shakira sings. But that’s not all: “You swapped a Ferrari for a Twingo, a Rolex for a Casio.”

In just 24 hours, the song was viewed 64 million times on YouTube and 14 million on Spotify. Record by a Latin American artist on these platforms. The fans seem to like the song. Above all, however, the reckoning with her ex. The world loves to watch the separations and rose wars of the celebrities.
Pop history is full of revenge songs
Whether in an elegant way like Elvis Presley in “My baby left me” or in the aggressive-violent macho style that Mick Jagger strikes in the Rolling Stones song “Melody” – revenge songs have always been successful in music history and also have a long tradition. Shakira was neither the first nor the last pop star to settle accounts with the ex-partner in a song.
The attacks on ex-partners are not always as explicit as in Shakira’s new song. For a long time, people pondered whether the song “I like you” by Mountain Crew frontman Philipp Rafestseder was a settlement with his then ex, former Miss Austria Dragana Stankovic. Sometimes there are lyrics from songwriters who are hurt or crying over a relationship, as in the case of Aretha Franklin’s 1967 “Respect” or Adele’s “Someone Like You”.
But pop history is full of revenge songs. In his 2002 song “Cry Me a River,” Justin Timberlake really throws up about his ex-partner Britney Spears, who cheated on him. Britney Spears, who apologized for her infidelity two years later in her song “Everytime”, revealed to Rolling Stone magazine years later how hurt Timberlake was at the time.

Meanwhile, Felix Brummer, frontman of the German band Kraftclub, simply called his ex “damn whore” in 2017’s “Dein Lied”. Even pop star Prince didn’t mince his words in “Eye Hate U”. Two years ago, Shakira’s compatriot, the Colombian pop star Maluma, in his hit “Hawai” left out about his ex Natalia Barulich, who was vacationing with Brazil’s soccer star Neymar Jr. on the dream island.
But it was probably Alains Morissette who pulled off the most obvious emotional striptease in her 1995 33 million-selling hit “You Oudhta Know.” The then 21-year-old singer fumed with anger and frustration at her unfaithful ex at the time, almost humiliating herself in the process: “I’m sorry if I’m bothering you at dinner now, but the speed with which you’re just replacing me that was the real slap. Will you think of me when you bang her?”

“She’s probably something like the older version of me. Is she as perverted as I am?” Asks the singer and goes one better: “And every time I give the man who’s lying on me the bloody scratches on my back, I hope it hurts you. Does it hurt you?”
