En este episodio de Shakipedia, desglosamos las letras coquetas que invitan al deseo, la tensión entre inocencia y tentación, y la audaz inclusión de un riff icónico de los 80. Discover how Shakira ties her muse to a "bourgeois sofa" and challenges societal judgments with her unmistakable rock-pop style. We explore the song's meaning, its production by Shakira and Lester Mendez, and why this "B-side" is the least streamed song on the album, despite its catchy rhythm and playful irreverence.
