The video for the song ‘Out of Your League’ was viewed more than 63 million times after 24 hours of being uploaded, making it the first Latin American song to have the most views in that amount of time.
In 2022 Shakira, 45, separated from Piqué, 35, a former player of FC Barcelona after more than 10 years of marriage.
The couple have two children together.
Thanks to this story, the BBC asked Piqué to comment on Shakira’s song.
The four-minute song is Shakira’s first single produced by Argentine DJ Bizarrap.
Shakira joins a short list of South Americans who have made YouTube pledges, including J Balvin, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee.
It’s not his first song about the breakup – Monotonia, released three months ago, was more heartbreak than self-deprecating.
In this new song, Shakira sings about the fact that Piqué is now with a 23-year-old girl.
He compares their romance to changing a “Ferrari car for a [Renault] Twingo” or a “Rolex for a Casio” watch.
In this song, the Colombian singer also talks about the Spanish authorities who accused him of evading taxes on his earnings of €14 million.
In the song, Shakira seems to say that Piqué abandoned her in all that she was doing.
He also criticizes Piqué’s way of exercising – he sings: “a lot of time in the gym, but your mind also needs exercise”.
Gerard Piqué does not respond to the song, he has been announcing his new project, King’s League.
Last June (6) Piqué and Shakira announced their separation, saying that they are going to take care of their nine-year-old Milan and seven-year-old children.
