It was the highlight of the evening on Wednesday 11th January. At 21:00, Shakira and Bizarrap released BZRP Music Session 53, a song sung by her and produced by him, which makes reference to separation from ex-husbandthe Catalan Gerard Piqué and his new relationship with Clara Chía, twenty years old.
Just 37 minutes after assembly, and only inside Youtube, had 2,800,000 plays. And of course, what threatened to be a viral hit was confirmed just hours later.

And while the numbers aren’t quite on Spotify yet, buzz indicates it would be among Bizarrap’s most streamed songs very soon. The music producer arrives from the close of 2020 as the most listened to Argentinian in the world, according to official data from Spotify, the music platform with more than 456 million users worldwide.
Also, of course, the song was widely commented on other networks, from Twitter to Instagram, via Tik Tok, places where memes proliferated for both Piqué (to a greater extent) and Shakira.
And famous, of Antonella Rocuzzo to Nicolás Tagliafico or Alejandro SanzThey left their comments.
what the topic is about
With Shakira singing with the usual trapper autotune (that effect that deforms their voice, making it robotic) and with all the sound and rhythmic stratifications that are a constant in Bizarrap productions, the song is cathartic for the Colombian.
He clearly refers to his separation from the former footballer – with whom he has two children – and is very harsh when he refers to him and also to his new girlfriend, Clara Chía.
“A wolf like me is not for guys like you / I was too old for you / That’s why you’re with someone just like you, oh-oh, oh-oh.”
“This is for them to warn you, so swallow, swallow, chew / I’m never going back with you, even if you cry or beg me / I understand it’s not my fault they criticize you / I just make music, I’m sorry you skipspite“.
These are parts of the lyrics, where Shakira too he managed to include his ex’s last name in the letter in that last word (though without the final accent, let’s say it all).
And he goes even further, comparing himself to a Ferrari and Piqué’s new girlfriend to a Twingo. He puts it like this: “I’m worth two out of 22. You swapped a Ferrari for a Twingo. You swapped a Rolex for a Casio. Go fast, go slow”.
And it also takes a while to tell Clara Chía is not a good person: “You thought you hurt me and you made me tougher. Women don’t cry anymore, women bill. It’s got the name of a good person, it’s clearly not what it seems.”
Musical catharsis with each other
This is the third song that Shakira dedicates to Piqué after their painful separation. The first was Monotony and the second I congratulate you.
When the Colombian artist separated from the Argentine Antonio DeLa Rua He even wrote a couple of songs for her, like Fortune Y I warn you, I announce youwhich compensated for the love he composed at the beginning of the relationship: January day Y what else.
It can be seen that the autobiographical vein is what Shakira does best when writing her songs.
