Shakira clarifies that 'Acrostic' is dedicated to her sons

Shakira has done it again. After her resounding success so far this year thanks to her collaborations with Bizarrap and Karol G, the Colombian has managed to paralyze the internet again with a ballad whose sound is reminiscent of her beginnings in music. The artist launched her new song, Acrostico, on the market on May 12, and she was back on the playlists with a single that she dedicates to her two children, Milan and Sasha, and which moves away from her previous songs focused on her break with ex-soccer player Gerard Piqué. Now, 'Shak' wanted to thank you for all the love this single has received, and she has remarked who she is for.

The singer, an interpreter of well-known songs such as Waka Waka or La Tortura, is beginning a new stage away from her ex-partner and focused on her professional career and her children. For this reason, this new song is the birth of a new era in Shakira's recording career and in which her children have played a leading role. The little ones have appeared in the official video clip of the song, interpreting the chorus of the song, something that would have negatively surprised the father of the little ones, Gerard Piqué, who would not have been consulted.

This Friday, the Colombian artist has reappeared on social networks to thank you for all the love that this new song has received. "I never imagined that this ballad in Spanish, dedicated to my children, could transcend in this way and reach the Top 10 so quickly," he began by saying, in a post on Instagram stories where he illustrates that Acrostic is in the Global Top from Spotify. In the image shared by the singer, it can be seen that TQG, the song that she published with Karol G a few months ago, is also in tenth position on the playlist.

"Two songs simultaneously in the Global Top 10 for the second time this year. It's only because of you! You are the best! Thank you infinitely for all the love," the interpreter, who also received great success at the beginning of year thanks to the Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53, a hit that still plays very often on the radio.

The song dedicated to her two children deals with what it means to be a mother and that unconditional love that is felt for a son or a daughter and that is impossible to break. "They have felt and interpreted it by themselves and for themselves, with the passion and feeling of the one who carries the music inside," the singer assured after its publication. "Milan and Sasha, it's so nice to see how they spread their wings to start realizing their dreams," she declared.

The news hit the singer's ex-partner like a jug of cold water, Gerard Piqué, who, according to the latest information, was not aware of the publication of this song. He also did not know that his children were going to be part of the official video clip. However, everything indicates that the ex-soccer player would not take action on the matter. The journalist Paloma Barrientos has recently assured that "there will be no complaint by Piqué, not even as a joke." She says that the Catalan is "very well advised" and that now he himself only cares about "the peace of the children and family peace." The controversy, it seems, will remain only in that... and both will continue with their lives separately.
