We already told you that there are artists who use their songs for that misnamed “spite”, like Shakira with her session with Bizarrap or even Tini, who in her new song has little message for Aitana and Sebastián Yatra.
Seeing the latest song by Shakira and Karol G, it is clear that both are following the tips to get over a break up as they know best, making music. I look big on you (TQG) is full of messages to Gerard Piqué and Anuel AAthe ex-partners of both and we analyze all the darts hidden not only in the lyrics, but also in the video clip of the song.
the letter of TQG and the messages it hides
Let’s start with a bit of context, because after breaking up, both Gerard Piqué and Anuel AA started with another couple. we don’t judge the time that has to pass until they started a new relationshipone with Clara Chía and the singer, with Yailin la Más Viral.
“The one who told you that a void is filled with another person lies to you. It’s like covering a wound with makeup, you can’t see it but it feels. You left saying that you surpassed me, that you got a new girlfriend. What she doesn’t know is that you’re still seeing me all’ the’ story.’” Karol G starts strong with the first stanza because starting a new relationship is not forgetting the old one.
In the chorus, things get intense with “If you know I don’t repeat mistakes. Tell your new baby, that I don’t compete for men, to stop pulling, that at least I had you pretty “. And it is that Colombian singers now only think about billing, and in a big way judging by the reproductions of Shakira’s session with Bizarrap that already exceed 351 million. “I don’t have time for what I don’t contribute, I already changed my north, making money as a sport, filling the account, the shows, the parking, the passportI’m tougher, the reports say,” they sing.
They are clear that they would return to their ex-partners and Shakira sings “Seeing you with the new one hurt me, but I’m already set for mine, what we lived through I forgot and that’s what offended you. And even life improved me, you’re no longer welcome around here.” Now, as they add later, life has improved for them. “Back to you never, you are the bad luck, because now the blessings rain down on me. And now you want to come back, I already assumed, liking my photo. You look happy with your new life, but if she knew that you’re still looking for me.
AND a clearer message to Piqué: “You looking outside for food and me saying it was monotony”. boom.
The messages of the TQG video clip
The video clip, in addition to the lyrics, has several nods to the cinema. The most obvious at the end, where both seem to find themselves on The Truman Show, living a lie that they believed to be a reality, a feeling that we have all felt. when we have experienced an infidelity.
Blade Runner And till Frozen With that icy setting in which Shaki shows all her power, they seem to be glimpsed in the aesthetics of the video clip, although what has caught our attention the most is that both seem to be reborn in a post-apocalyptic world.
The song is born from a breakup but as Flowers by Miley Cyrus, becomes an empowering message of improvement. Nothing out of spite, it’s turning the page as they know how to do best. Women don’t cry, women bill.
