Guess who’s back, back again? Nope, not Slim Shady—Shakira! The “Hips Don’t Lie” queen has just released a banger so fresh, it’s practically still steaming: “Soltera.” (Yep, Shakira’s out here giving single ladies their new anthem, so Beyoncé better watch her back.)
She dropped this track on Thursday (September 25), probably because she knows weekends are the best time for getting your groove on. As soon as the song hit the airwaves, people started losing their minds. Why? Well, not only because it’s Shakira (duh), but because she was spotted shooting the music video at Miami’s LIV nightclub. And she didn’t roll solo! Oh no, she brought a star-studded entourage featuring Winnie Harlow, Anitta, Danna, and Lele Pons—basically a squad so fabulous it might cause spontaneous hair flips across the globe.
As for the song itself? Picture an “infectious afrobeats female anthem.” Yep, this jam is going to spread faster than your favorite cat meme. It’s already causing a pandemic of spontaneous dance-offs, so watch your step.
And Shakira’s not just showing up for a good time—she’s here to collect trophies, too. Just last week, she snagged not one, not two, but three Latin Grammy nominations. She’s up for Album of the Year with Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (translation: Women Don’t Cry Anymore—Shakira’s officially saying “bye-bye” to tissues), Song of the Year for “Entre Paréntesis” (which sounds like a punctuation crisis, but I’m sure it’s more emotional than that), and Best Latin Electronic Music Performance for “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 (Tiësto Remix),” because who doesn’t love a remix that slaps harder than your alarm clock on a Monday?
But wait, there’s more! This November, Shakira’s hitting the road for her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, and guess what? It’s already sold out. So if you didn’t grab a ticket, well, you’ll be crying this time (the irony isn’t lost on us).
Shakira’s back, your playlist is about to level up, and if you’re not careful, you might just end up buying a ticket to Miami to join the party.
