Shakira and Cardi B
Thanks to YoutubeIf there is anyone who can help Shakira get over her divorce Gerard Piqueare Cardi B.
Shakira, 47, released Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women No Longer Cry) on Friday, March 22, her 12th studio album and first LP since she and Piqué, 37, split after 12 years together. Although Shakira has used her music to express her pain and anger towards her ex, she was in a different mood when she connected with Cardi, 31, on the song “Puntería” (“Aim”).
“You have a good aim / You know where to hit me to make me surrender,” Shakira sings (translated from Spanish). “You attack me where it hurts most, you don’t suit me / But in your bed or mine I forget all that.”
To drive home the point – literally – Shakira appears as a divine goddess of love in the “Puntería” music video. She appears partly as Cupid and partly as Artemis as she floats over a field of Centaurs. After securing her prey, she nurses the piece back to health.
Since Shakira and Gerard Piqué announced their split after 12 years, she has opened up about dealing with heartbreak. “This is really hard to talk about in person, especially since this is the first time I’ve ever discussed this situation in an interview,” the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer told Elle in a September 2022 profile.

When Cardi, who identifies as Afro-Latina, walks in, she turns up the heat. “Dame de tu fire,” she sings, which means “Give me your fire,” before adding, “I’m from the Bronx, but I have a Georgia peach.” / I have an empanada, mama, that he likes to eat / Loba like Shaki, tú ere’ mi tigre / Muérdeme duro, de este culo nunca te olvide.”
(“You’re my tiger / Bite me hard, I’ll never forget this ass,” Cardi sings in her final lines, according to the translated lyrics.)
Las Mujeres Ya No LloranShakira’s first album in seven years, also features performances by Raw Alejandro (“Cohete”), Group Frontera (“Entre Paréntesis”), Fuerza Regida (“El Jefe”), Manuel Turizo (“Copa Vacía”), and Ozuna (“Montonia”). The album also includes ‘Acróstico’, a song featuring her and Piqué’s sons, Milan11, and Sasha9.
“Creating this body of work has been an alchemical process,” Shakira previously said about this album. “As I wrote each song, I was rebuilding myself. As I sang them, my tears turned into diamonds and my vulnerability turned into strength.”
In a March 16 interview with The Sunday timesShakira said she “put my career on hold” to support Piqué while he played for FC Barcelona. “Many sacrifices have been made for love,” she said. Shakira said it too Billboard in September 2023 that her priority was “my home, my family.”
“But my biggest dream, more than collecting platinum albums and Grammys, was to raise my sons with their father,” she said. “Overcome obstacles and grow old together. I know I don’t understand that right now.”
Shakira shares two sons with her former partner, Gerard Piqué, and has been documenting their family life since becoming a mother in 2013. Shakira and the retired footballer welcomed their eldest son, Milan, in January 2013, followed by Sasha in January 2015. “Sometimes it’s very difficult when you can’t see your sons for a while […]
After breaking up in 2022, amid allegations that Piqué cheated on Shakira with his current girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti, Shakira moved to Miami. In July, she returned to the dating pool by going on a few dates with the Miami Heat player Jimmy Butler.
