"Soltera" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. It was released on 25 September 2024 as the lead single from her upcoming project through Sony Music Latin. [3] [4]

Contents

Background

On 22 March 2024, Shakira released her twelfth studio album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran . [5] On 13 June 2024, she revealed in an interview for Rolling Stone that "there are some songs we have lying around" from the album sessions and that "it’s not a new album, but let’s say I have a new project". [6]

On 14 September 2024, Shakira was seen filming a music video at LIV Nightclub in Miami, Florida. [7] On 20 September, she revealed the single's release date and cover art featuring herself partying with Anitta, Danna, and Lele Pons. [8] [9] [10]

“Soltera” is a afrobeats and tropical-pop song with notes of kizomba and calypso rhythms. [11]

Music video

The music video was directed by Jaume de la Iguana. Its cinematography was handled by Rafa Lluch. [12] It features Anitta, Danna, Winnie Harlow, Lele Pons, Natti Natasha, Bizarrap and Harry Jowsey. [13] [14] [15]

Reception

Lizzette Vela from e-consulta.com commented that the song "promises to be a hymn of feminine liberty and empowerment", continuing how Shakira "invites people to celebrate independence and challenges critics of her personal life" in the lyrics. [9]

Chris Malone Mendez of Forbes described the song as a "spiritual successor" to "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53", because the singer sang about "having the right to behave badly and have a good time, celebrating being free and doing as she pleases, and enjoying living a single life". [16]

Writing for Italian online newspaper Fanpage.it, Elena Betti stated that "Shakira wants to be alone" because the song is "a hymn to independence". Betti stressed that the song is about "a story that surely marked her deeply", probably about her ex-husband Gerard Piqué and the fact that "Shakira says she changed friends because those who were left kept telling her about him". [17]
