Shakira appears to have closed the chapter on her tumultuous split from Gerard Pique, as reflected in her new single “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” which is a diss track aimed at her ex-boyfriend.
In an interview with The Sunday Times, the 47-year-old singer confirmed that the song is likely the final piece she will write about their relationship. “It’s hopefully the last song that I will write about this, and to him,” she stated.
Shakira candidly shared that she felt a need to express her emotions through music, explaining, “I felt that there was still something there, stuck in my throat, and I needed to get it out.” The emotional impact of the song was evident when she played it for the marketing head at Sony, who reportedly started crying. “I’d never seen a man cry in my studio before,” she remarked, referring to the marketing head as a ‘big softie.’
While acknowledging that the song is not solely about her or Pique, Shakira expressed her gratitude for including it in her album as a way to release her feelings. She declared, “But I’m glad I was able to include it in the album, even if it’s the last song, the last song that I write to him. I hope.”
Despite her assertion that this could be the final song about her past relationship, Shakira left a slight opening by saying, “But I could always change my mind,” before moving on to another topic.
