About a month ago, Shakira dropped her track with Manuel Turizo. It is safe to say that the song has been a superhit one with over 54 million views. The music artist interestingly tries to portray her inner thoughts by being a mermaid this time. She shot several scenes while she was tied up and in a fish tank too. While the lyrics are as top-notch as ever, the Colombian icon explained why she dressed up like a mermaid.
She called it the classic narrative of the ‘fish out of the water’. Shakira continued, “In a way my videos represent what I’m thinking, how I’m feeling, emotions, the moment I’m going through. In this video, the woman or the representation of the woman that has been taken away from her habitat. That has moved in with this guy who has a kind of enclosed in this fishbowl. Pride over freedom”.

“To neglect her because he’s not really paying attention to her, then she ends up in the trash. And I loved using the mermaid to represent this reality. And it’s sometimes so common you know, in couples”. During her explanation, she never linked anything to her own personal life, and neither did she make a comparison to her previous relationship. It’ll be interesting to see if Gerard Pique responds to the interview.
On the other hand, the Hips Don’t Lie singer has now become a role model. To keep pushing forward even after such a tragic breakup is something that has inspired millions across the globe.

Last month, the Colombian icon explained how she found solace in music. She revealed that music helped her ‘connect with her real self’ when she felt really lost. That is why the lyrics of her songs are such hard-hitting ones, simply because they’re seemingly directly from her heart. She’s always been an open book for her fans. One thing is for sure, Shakira and her fans have always shared a really close connection.
