Review

The story in the lyrics is about two women who are hurt by seeing their exes with new girlfriends and who clap back at their former partners. They say they don’t care about them anymore and that they are doing better without them. They also mock their exes’ new girlfriends and say they were too good for them. My interpretation of the meaning is that they are trying to show confidence and strength after a breakup, but they also reveal some bitterness and resentment.
The song makes me feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, I admire their courage and self-esteem, but on the other hand, I feel sorry for their pain and anger. The artist weaves the story by using catchy melodies, witty rhymes, and slang expressions. They also use some metaphors and references to their personal lives. For example:How: They tell their story by singing in Spanish with a Colombian accent and using some English words like “baby” or “level”.
Where: They mention some places like Barranquilla (Shakira’s hometown) or Medallo (short for Medellín, Karol G’s hometown).
When: They don’t specify a time frame, but they imply that the breakups happened recently and that they are still dealing with them.
Who: They refer to themselves as “La Bichota” (Karol G’s nickname) or “Shakira, Shakira” (a reference to Wyclef Jean’s line in “Hips Don’t Lie”). They also mention their exes indirectly by using pronouns like “tú” (you) or “él” (he).
What: They describe what happened after the breakups, how they feel about it, and what they want their exes to know.
The song does include explicit themes, such as sexual innuendos or insults. For example:

“Que deje de estar tirando” (“That she should stop hating”) could also mean “that she should stop having sex”, since “tirar” is a vulgar term for sex in some Spanish-speaking countries.

“TQG” stands for “Te Quedó Grande”, which literally means “It was too big for you”, but it can also be an insult meaning “You couldn’t handle it”.

The song is not very fun or sad, but rather defiant and sarcastic. It has an upbeat rhythm and a catchy chorus, but it also expresses some negative feelings like hurt, anger, or jealousy.

The song relates to the YouTube video by showing scenes of Shakira and Karol G singing in different settings while wearing colorful outfits and accessories.
