Piqué, a ‘workaholic’ with no desire for sex in ‘Copa Vacía’, Shakira’s new song

The revenge continues. We have already lost count of the number of dart-songs that Shakira has dedicated to her ex, the businessman and former soccer player Gerard Piqué, and on this eve of July we must add one more: ‘Empty Cup’.

It is a collaboration with her compatriot Manuel Turizo in the key of slow reggaeton, in which the Colombian singer complains about the little attention paid to her by a couple who devote more energy to work than to keeping the flame burning. «Always so busy with so much business, it would be nice, my love, a little leisure (…) I’ve been thirsty for you for a while, I don’t know why. I am left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty glass.

How can we not think that it goes directly to Piqué, taking into account Shakira’s long history of vendetta-songs, especially with him, and reviewing the number of bisnes in which he is involved? The Kings League, the Andorra soccer team, the KOI eSports club and the event management company Kosmos (organizer of the Davis Cup, among other things), had to focus all the attention of the former Barcelona player in the worst period of his relationship with Shakira, who is now settling scores with this new hit for the summer that mourns the sentimental neglect of her partner. “You don’t have to be a poet to sweeten my ear, put down the phone, use your hand with me,” says the Colombian without any fuss, who gets especially spiteful when she throws this phrase typical of a spiteful teenager at her: “I know you’re hot, but much better I am ».

These are the lyrics of the complete song and below is the video clip, where Shakira maintains an icy distance with her partner, in a clara allegory of the cooling of their relationship:

You see it? So

I can’t keep up at this rate

I do not know what else to do

To get more of you

Why don’t you want when I want?

You’re colder than the month of January

I ask for heat and you only give ice, oh, oh

I’ve been thirsty for you for a while, I don’t know why

I’m left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty glass

I’ve been thirsty for you for a while, I don’t know why

I’m left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty glass, ah, ah, ah

You are always busy with so much business

It would do you good, my love, a little leisure

Relax here on the sofa and give me your attention

Oh, oh-oh-oh

You don’t have to be a poet to sweeten my ear

Put down the phone, use your hand with me I know you’re hot, but I’m so much hotter

Oh

I’ve been thirsty for you for a while, I don’t know why

I’m left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty glass

I’ve been thirsty for you for a while, I don’t know why

I’m left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty glass, ah, ah, ah

as if I didn’t feel anything

Now you look at me so different

And I swimming against the current

He has me on the street looking for

With what to fill this emptiness that you feel

I’m not a mechanic, but I try to fix it and it doesn’t work

Reviving a heart that does not react

I don’t want to try it with someone else

Your kisses are salt water

I’m leaving, they don’t calm me down at all

I wait for you and you disappoint me

and that’s not how it works

Why don’t you want when I want?

You’re colder than the month of January

I ask for heat and you only give ice, oh, oh

I’ve been thirsty for you for a while, I don’t know why

I’m left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty glass

I’ve been thirsty for you for a while, I don’t know why

I’m left wanting more and wanting to drink from an empty glass, ah, ah, ah

Who is Manuel Turizo?

Born in Montería (Colombia) in the year 2000, Manuel Turizo rose to fame after releasing his song ‘Una Lady Como Tú’ (1.5 billion views) in 2016 and topping the charts in Colombia and Latin America. This unprecedented success caught the attention of Juan Diego Medina and La Industria INC, who signed him as their artist to continue promoting the successful career of a very talented young man. His follow-up singles ‘Esperándote’ and ‘Culpables’ have amassed over 700 million views each, further cementing Manuel Turizo’s career among Latin music favorites.

He has collaborated with names like Nicky Jam, Ozuna, Darell, Noriel, Anuel AA, Zion & Lennox, Wisin & Yandel, Rauw Alejandro, Myke Towers, Piso 21, Maluma, Sech, Jay Wheeler, Mau & Ricky, Camilo and more, and her songs have received multiple certifications from gold to platinum. He has been nominated for Premios Juventud, Latin American Music Awards, Premios Tu Música Urbano, Latin Billboards and Latin Grammys.

Turizo has released three highly successful albums, ‘ADN’, ‘Dopamina’ and ‘2000’, the latter published last March with viral singles such as ‘La bachata’, ‘Éxtasis’, ‘De 100 a 0’ or the most recent , ‘Merengue’, a collaboration with Marshmello that pays homage to the electronic merengue of the 2000s.

The artist from Monteria, who will perform this weekend at the Puro Latino Fest festival in Madrid (in the City of Rock in Arganda del Rey, along with other reggaeton stars such as J Balvin or Nicky Jam), has made it clear that in this new launch with his name in the credits, he is a mere guest at a barrage of darts designed by Shakira, as he explained in a recent interview when asked about his level of participation, and decision regarding the right moment for the launch: «The theme is not really mine, the theme is hers. It is she who decides when she wants to take it out ».
