Soltera is Shakira’s sparkling ode to post-breakup freedom. Tired of feeling “apagada” (switched off), she flips the switch back on, swaps friends who keep mentioning her ex, and declares—loudly—that she has nothing to lose. The chorus, “Tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien,” becomes her rallying cry: she has every right to misbehave if it means having fun.
From sun-drenched beach plans and flirty cocktails to playful warnings for any dog who dares slide into her DMs, Shakira paints single life as a delicious summer that never ends. The song mixes cheeky self-confidence with a wink of vulnerability (her heart is “partido como Sanz”), yet the overall message is clear: dance, laugh, and live on your own terms. Se pasa rico soltera—being single feels amazing!
