Shakira just updated her relationship status in a big way.
The Colombian bombshell dropped the video for her new song, Soltera, meaning “bachelorette” in English.
Last week, on Instagram, Shakira teased a part of the music video before releasing it in its entirety on YouTube.
The Hips Don’t Lie singer is seen in a skimpy blue bikini shimmying aboard a yacht, her adopted home of Miami in the background.
“I went out to get my head straight. I was tired of being out of it, so I decided to go for it,” she sings (translated from Spanish). “I changed friends because the ones who were there only talked about him.”
The “him” in question we have to assume is Gerard Pique, the soccer player and father of her two sons who left the global superstar for his assistant.
“In the bad times," she continues, “I learned that I have nothing to lose.”
In the Hangover-esque video, Shakira is also seen balling out on a wakeboard and driving with high-wattage pals like supermodel Winnie Harlow, fellow Colombian Karol G, singer Natti Natasha and influencer Lele Pons around town in a purple car that ends up wrecked.
Later, the 47 year old goes to the Guitar Hotel, flirts with a muscular guy who strips down at the craps table, hits up the hot tub and twerks at the club.
The chorus: “I have the right to act bad and have fun. I’m single, and now I can do what I want.”
The catchy Afrobeats-inspired track is the latest from Shakira’s reflective post-breakup album called Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, meaning Women Don’t Cry Anymore.
