Shakira then seems to get into even more specific details about their breakup. “You left me my mother-in-law as my neighbor / Media outlets at my door and in debt with the government,” sings the musician, appearing to mention herongoing tax fraud trial in Spain. “You thought you hurt me, but you made me stronger / Women don’t cry anymore, they cash in.”
In the chorus, repeated multiple times throughout the song, Shakira declares, “I’m too good for you, and that’s why you’re with someone just like you.”
After 11 years together, she and Piquéannounced their separationin a joint statement on June 4, 2022, which read, “We regret to confirm that we are separating.
