What a year Shakira is having! After the release of her album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women Don’t Cry Anymore) last March and the announcement of her world tour starting on November 2, the Colombian has released a new song: a new anthem for the single life she is currently living.

Now, two weeks later (and after building up the hype), Shakira has released the music video. It’s a very special drop. The artist has included some of her friends.
And what friends! Because they are some of the most famous faces in the entertainment industry. The artist has featured singers, models, and influencers in this fun video. But do you know who they all are? Let us explain! The ones who appear the most are Lele Pons, Natti Natasha, Karolina Kurkova, and Winnie Harlow.
