Before Monotonía was published, many fans were already waiting for Shakira's new single. There were several tracks that the Colombian was launching on her networks on the theme of her new song, heartbreak.
A reality that the artist lives very closely since this summer she separated from the Barcelona Football Club player, Gerard Piqué. Hence, the expectation was even greater than in previous singles, she to the point of breaking records in a single week.
The main one of them all is that Monotonía has become the biggest debut in Spanish so far this year. It had over 3 million streams in the first 24 hours and debuted at number 12 globally on Spotify.
The video clip, co-directed by Jaume de Laiguana, has not been left behind, since at its premiere it exceeded 20 million views, which raised it to number 1 in YouTube trends, as Sony announced in a statement on Wednesday. But the records do not stop here. With Monotonía, the one from Barranquilla has also achieved the biggest solo female debut on YouTube and the biggest debut of her entire career.
Monotonía is the second single from Shakira's new project, which has not released any studio album since she released "El dorado" in 2017. The first was the song I congratulate you, also dedicated to her ex-partner, and which she sings together with the Puerto Rican Rauw Alejandro.
