“I am a wounded she-wolf,” is how Shakira defended her songs with direct hints at Piqué and her circle from her criticism. The singer has never hidden the pain caused by the separation from the former soccer player, who, shortly after, was already dating Clara Chía. There are even those who claim that she started before ending their relationship.
Shakira defends her “hurt” songs
Since that moment, the Colombian has shown that in any circumstance, her priority is her children and parents, and she found in music a great refuge and relief, which can clearly be transmitted in her songs such as ‘Te felicito’, ‘Monotonía’, ‘TQG’, or ‘Sessions 53’. Regarding this latest success with Bizarrap, Shakira confessed that she was often asked to change her lyrics because they considered her “very strong and direct,” but she was sure of what she wanted to do, and express.
“They told me: ‘Change the lyrics, that can’t come out.’ And I answered that I am not a United Nations diplomat. I am a woman, a wounded wolf. “She surprised me by being able to make lemonade with the sourest lemons,” she said in an interview with Billboard.
Remember that after her premiere, the singer was harshly accused of not thinking about what she could generate in her children because, at the end of everything, their father would always be Gerard. Despite everything she has been through, she is very happy with her new life with Milan and Sasha, in Miami, where they are away from all the pressure in Barcelona, without having the press outside her home.
Shakira continues to triumph
Likewise, Shakira assured that musically speaking, she is going through one of the best moments of her career, so she does not care at all about those negative criticisms, since it is her means to express herself and connect with the audience that had followed her for years and with the new one.
“I’m very inspired, I’m looking forward to it. There have been stages when they had to drag me to the studio. Sometimes you fight with her work, it happens to everyone. But now I’m on a honeymoon with my music and my career. “I am in love with what I do,” she said.
“The most I write is when I am at my worst. Life hits me hard, I have learned a lot from that and I feel stronger”, she has acknowledged the “therapeutic” effect of her work. “I didn’t think I would have so much vital energy to overcome certain stages of life. And it turns out that she was less fragile than she thought. “My music is a survival tool,” she added.
