Review

This song is about a guy who feels she is using him but likes the girl. He asks her to be sincere if she doesn't want anything with him. She denies it; however, she reminds him it is her way. He ends up accepting he is a masochist.

In the video, we watch Shakira in a store. Maluma notices her and gets close to her. Shakira starts to get away from him through a dark tunnel, but he goes after her. Suddenly, they end up in a bar. Shakir goes to the restroom, and Maluma sees her. She dances in front of a mirror. Then, they keep on performing and singing. The video finishes with some sexy images of Shakira lying on a couch.

It is a great chance for Spanish learners to study and practice contractions which are very common in modern latin music.
