ThisValentine’s Day, newly singleShakirais opting for revenge over romance — sort of.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer marked the loved-up holiday Tuesday with a decidedlyunromantic video that featured her lip syncing toSZA’s “Kill Bill” while mopping her kitchen.
Shakira, 46, and longtime partner Gerard Piquéannounced their separationin June, and the former soccer starwent Instagram officialwith new girlfriend Clara Chia Marti on Jan. 25.
The Colombian superstar’s song selection certainly raised some eyebrows among fans, as the lyrics to “Kill Bill” center around a scorned woman who indulges in her wildest revenge fantasies in order to help ease her broken heart.
“I might kill my ex/Not the best idea/His new girlfriend’s next, how’d I get here?” Shakira sings in the video. “I might kill my ex/I still love him though/Rather be in jail than alone/I did it all for love.”
The star did not include a caption with her video, but shared plenty with fans last month in thelyrics of her song “BZRP Music Session #53,“a collaboration with the Argentine producer Bizarrap.
The Spanish-language track appeared to be a deep dive into her relationship with Piqué and its aftermath, as well as her apparent decision to move with the couple’s sons Sasha, 8, and Milan, 10, from Barcelona to Miami.
Later in the song, Shakira appears to directly reference the 23-year-old Marti.

“I wish you luck with my supposed replacement / I don’t even know what happened to you,” she sings. “I’m worth two of 22 [year old] / You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo / You traded a Rolex for a Casio / You’re going fast, slow down / Lots of time at the gym, but your brain needs a little work too.”
Shakira and Piqué first confirmed their relationship in 2011 after meeting the year prior on the set of her music video for “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” which served as the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Theyannounced their separation in Junewith a joint statement.
“We regret to confirm that we are separating,” the exes said at the time. “We ask for privacy at this moment for the well-being of our children, who are our maximum priority. Thank you in advance for your understanding and respect.”
