Back in February 2023, Shakira caused a stir on the internet with "BZRP Music Sessions #53," a scathing diss song directed at her ex-partner Gerard Piqué. She compares his new girlfriend to a Twingo and tells him to exercise his brain, among other clever lyrical shots.
Now, the singer is moving forward, bringing in some girl power to back it up, as she releases her new album , Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (English: Women No Longer Cry ). On her new single "Puntería" ("Aim" in English), Shakira calls on Cardi B to help her get through the hardest part of a breakup: wanting him back.
Shaki and Bardi trade bars in Spanish and English on the disco-influenced electro-pop song about a man with a purpose that means they can't escape. "You throw darts at me, they'll hit me right in the heart," Shakira sang, according to an English translation. "Oh, and no matter how many times I try, oh, I can't avoid you."
While it doesn't address her divorce as directly as previous breakup tracks, "Puntería" finds Shakira in a state of both vulnerability and frivolity. Meanwhile, Cardi decided to press on, referencing her collaborators in the process. "Even though you're not for me, I turn into a she-wolf like Shaggy," she raps in an English translation.
Emily's Paris Connection
Shakira chose Emily in Paris 's Lucien Lavisconte (aka Alfie) as her love interest in the steamy music video. But first, she turned him into a centaur. True.
The clip stars Shakira and Cardi as love goddesses overseeing an army of insanely beautiful centaurs, with Shakira shooting an arrow directly into Count Lavis's heart, like Cupid. . The two notice the bloody but still handsome centaur in the distance, and the singer volunteers to nurse him back to health.
Naturally, this leads to him making out in a flower petal (but not before he transforms back into an adult human). And some of Shakira’s classic choreography, because there’s not one of her videos that doesn’t have them.
"Puntería" English Lyrics
Read the full lyrics to Shakira and Cardi B's new single "Vinyl Edition" below, translated from Spanish to English by Genius.
[Introduction: Shakira]
your aim is good
You know where to give me, make me surrender, surrender
[Verse 1: Shakira]
your style caught my attention
You throw darts at me, they hit me right in the heart
Oh, no matter how many times I try
Oh, it's impossible to avoid you
[Chorus: Shakira]
your aim is good
You know where to give me, make me surrender
It hits me where it hurts the most, you're not for me
But in your bed or mine, I forget all that
[Verse 2: Shakira]
Wherever you put your eyes, there will be bullets.
I shoot at the target and then fall down like nothing happened
But if you stole two of my kisses
I didn't even think about the third one
I hesitated all night
I woke up to your shirt
I don't know if I want to stop
your hands melt me
your lips fascinate me
your biceps turn me on
I never call you
You will always arrive
[Chorus: Shakira]
your aim is good
You know where to give me, make me surrender
It hits me where it hurts the most, you're not for me
But in your bed or mine, I forget all that
oh oh
[Section 3: Cardi B]
berkalis
You have a fast pass
For all my scores, not just G
give me your fire
squeeze my butt
Although you are not for me
I turned into a she-wolf like Shaggy
Crazy, you are crazy, my tiger
Touch, touch me for more desire
let me never forget you
She's as wolf as Shaggy
you are my tiger
bite me hard
never forget this ass
[Chorus: Cardi B and Shakira ]
your aim is good
You know how to hold me up, these fools are out of battery
You throw darts at me, it's not for me, but I like it
If it's in there I'll be a bitch for you
I know it will never leave your mind, Cardi B
your aim is good
You know where to give me, make me surrender
It hits me where it hurts the most, you're not for me
But in your bed or mine, I forget all that
oh oh
