Shakira expressed how being 'husbandless' now provides her with the opportunity to focus on her music, unencumbered by external factors.

“I didn’t have time because of the husband factor,” Shakira explained. “Now I’m husbandless. Yeah, the husband was dragging me down. Now I’m free. Now I can actually work.” And she did, releasing her first studio album in seven years, per Rolling Stone.

Creative Alchemy and Personal Renewal

Shakira described the process of creating her album as transformative, stating, 'Making this body of work has been an alchemical process. While writing each song I was rebuilding myself.'

She emphasised how her emotional journey during the album production allowed her tears to turn into 'diamonds' and her vulnerability to morph into 'strength'. This profound self-discovery and expressive evolution signify a significant milestone in Shakira's artistic career.
