AceShowbiz - Shakira continues pouring her heart out in her music. On new single "TQG" featuring Karol G, the "Hips Don't Lie" hitmaker sings about getting hurt, seemingly referring to her split from Gerard Pique.
"Seeing you with the new one hurt me/ But I'm already set by myself," the Colombian star sings on the Spanish-language track. "What we lived I forgot/ And that's what offended you/ That even life improved me/ You are no longer welcome here/ I saw that your girlfriend threw at me/ It doesn't make me angry, I laugh."
In the chorus, Shakira points out she doesn't want to "repeat mistakes," adding that her ex's "new baby" should know that she also doesn't "compete for men."
"Tell her to stop pulling, that at least I made you look pretty," read the lyrics. "You left and I've put on my 'triple M'/ Better, harder, lighter (more, more, more)/ Never back with you, you are bad luck/ Because now the blessings pour on me."
"TQG" is seemingly another diss track aimed at Gerard, who is currently dating 23-year-old girlfriend Clara Chia. Shakira previously dropped "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol 53", in which she sings, "I'm worth two 22's. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio."
She also appears to have a dig at Gerard's intellect by singing, "A lot of gyms. But work your brain a little bit too." And in another section she sings the lines, "You left me the mother-in-law as a neighbor. With the press at my door and a debt with the taxman."
Shakira and Gerard 35 ended their relationship in May 2022 after 11 years. The singer has been reportedly planning a move to Miami with their two children, nine-year-old Milan and seven-year-old Sasha.
