Review

Song summary:

"I congratulate you" is a song by Colombian singer Shakira in collaboration with Puerto Rican Rauw Alejandro. The song was released on April 21, 2022 as the lead single from Shakira's upcoming self-titled tenth studio album.

Where: "I congratulate you" has entered the top 10 worldwide trends (sixth place in the video channel) and accumulated more than a million and a half likes. In the Top 40 list, he keeps climbing positions (now at 12 and going up).

How: The last song of the Colombian singer, a reflection of her sentimental crisis, exceeds 90 million views on YouTube, on the way to the top positions on music charts

Why The song in which Shakira already warned us through her lyrics that her relationship with the soccer player was not good, has gone from 60 million views on YouTube to reaching 90 in recent days.

Song emotion:

This is a regretful song, about a love betrayal. It is about a couple that has lost all love due to betrayal and the singer congratulates her partner for having acted lovingly throughout the relationship and claims that the love was fake.

Shakira is going through one of the most difficult moments of her life, separating from the man she fell madly in love with 12 years ago and with whom she has two children together. But there is no harm that does not come from her for good, and her sentimental media crisis is bringing her professional benefits.

About the video:

The video premiered simultaneously with the song a day before the planned release due to a leak of the song. It was directed by regular collaborator Jaume de Laiguana, capturing a futuristic theme and doing futuristic robot moves, the same dance at that time has become a trend on platforms like Tiktok.

As of June 2022, the video suffered a large increase in views after the controversial breakup of Shakira and her ex-partner Gerard Piqué, due to alleged infidelity on the part of the footballer.
