The song by Shakira about her ex-partner Gerard Pique cheating on her has broken YouTube records. The video has been watched more than 63 million times in 24 hours, making it the most-watched Latin song in that time period.
Shakira, 45, separated from former Barcelona footballer Pique, 35, in 2022 after more than 10 years together. They have 2 children together. In the diss track, Shakira sings about Pique's new alleged 23-year-old partner. She says she is "worth two 22-year-olds" and compares the relationship to swapping "a Ferrari for a Twingo" and a "Rolex for a Casio."
The Colombian singer also references her run-in with the Spanish authorities, who claim she has failed to pay €14.5M in income tax. Shakira appears to say in the song that Pique left her whilst all this was going on. She also sings: "lots of time at the gym, but your brain needs a little work too".
The bop currently has 71M views on youtube.
