Shakira believes Gerard Pique was dragging her down
The Colombian pop star looks like she finally has time to pursue music with a free mind. Her relationship with Pique meant that her music career took a heavy toll as she had failed to release a studio album since 2017. But now she can freely devote her entire time to music.
It looks like the breakup with Gerard Pique has helped the Colombian rediscover her love for making new music. In 2024, the Colombian is launching her album, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.”
Shakira has confirmed in ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ that it was indeed her relationship with Gerard Pique that didn’t let her pursue music. She said (via Rolling Stones), “I didn’t have time because of the husband factor. Now I’m husbandless. Yeah, the husband was dragging me down. Now I’m free. Now I can actually work.”

Gerard Pique and Shakira’s separation was a very ugly one with cheating allegations labeled at the former. It took two years for the Colombian musician to finally get over her ex and release an album. Shakira had even released some songs following that period, but an album launch has reaffirmed her return to the music world. Her fans would be hoping for more albums and tracks from their favorite singers in the coming years.
Shakira details how making her new album was a spiritual experience
It seems that Shakira is very hopeful of her album’s success. For Shakira, singing is an opportunity to grow and recover from past trauma.
The process of making this album has just done that for the 47-year-old, who feels revitalized before the launch of her new album. Shakira beautifully documented her journey of making, “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” during her conversation with Jimmy Fallon.
She said, “Making this body of work has been an alchemical process. While writing each song I was rebuilding myself. While singing them, my tears transformed into diamonds, and my vulnerability into strength.”
Many young budding artists take inspiration from Shakira. The Colombian has transformed her pain into her work, which will probably revered amongst her fans for generations.
Shakira could have been feeling depressed and gloomy for the rest of her life, after separating from Pique, but she chose to be strong and become a perfect mother for her 2 kids. The Colombian embodies the never-give-up type of attitude and has risen after being pinned down with her new album.
