With songs that have already broken all kinds of world records, plus eight new ones, the album, the first in seven years, is marked by Shakira’s complicated separation from the father of her children, the former Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué, and her subsequent recovery, in what he has described as “a conversation” with his fans.

‘What happened to us has already happened and it didn’t make sense. And if you were confused now I feel the same. Surely over time you will regret it and one day you will want to knock on my door once more. But now I have decided to be alone,” she adds in the song.
