Analysis of "Soltera" by Shakira

"Soltera" reflects Shakira’s newfound independence and the liberation she feels after overcoming a past relationship. The lyrics “Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien” (I have the right to misbehave to have a good time) express her sense of freedom and the joy of doing what she wants without restrictions. The song also touches on self-respect and being selective in relationships, as Shakira asserts that she is “selectiva” and cautious in love, having grown wary of it after being hurt. Shakira further emphasizes that no one can dictate how she should behave or live her life, making this track an empowering statement for women embracing their independence and happiness on their own terms.

Technical Aspects

"Soltera" combines tropical beats with Latin urban and afrobeats influences, giving the song a rhythmic and summery feel. The instrumentation features lively drums and a playful guitar, creating a beachy, carefree atmosphere. Shakira's vocal delivery alternates between sultry and playful, reinforcing the song's confident and celebratory tone. Collaborating with artists like Anitta, Lele Pons, and Danna Paola for additional vocals adds layers of energy and unity among women.

Soltera Song Lyrics

Soltera by Shakira

[Intro: Shakira]
¡Shaka!
Salí pa' despejarme
Y yo cansada de estar apagada, decidí prenderme
Cambié de amigos porque los que estaban solo hablaban de él
A las malas me tocó aprender que no tengo nada que perder
Y como ellos también

[Coro: Shakira]
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa' pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera, ah (Shaka)

[Verso 1: Shakira]
El día esta pa' bote, playa
Y para pasarme de la raya (Ah)
En la arena sobre la toalla (Ah)
Ese plancito nunca falla, -lla, -lla
Esta nena tiene fans
Y el corazón partío’ como Sanz (Ah)
Muchos son los que me tiran
Pero pocos son lo que me dan
Soy selectiva, poca trayectoria
Normal, por razones obvias
Al amor le cogí fobia
Perro que me escriba, pantallazo y pa' su novia
[Pre-Coro: Shakira]
Nadie va decirme cómo me debo comportar
Pueden opinar

[Coro: Shakira]
Pero yo tengo el derecho de portarme mal pa' pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa' pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera, ah

[Verso 2: Shakira]
Con vista al mar reservé el hotel
Ya me prendí con un solo cocktail
Me puse poca ropa pa' mostrar la piel
La abeja reina está botando miel

[Refrán: Shakira]
Aún huele a verano aquí
¿Qué tiene de malo?
Si eso es para usarlo
Y mi cuerpo está diciendo

[Coro: Shakira]
Yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa' pasarla bien (¡Shaka!)
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera, ah, ah, ah
[Refrán: Shakira]
Aún huele a verano aquí
¿Qué tiene de malo?
Si eso es para usarlo
Y mi cuerpo está diciendo
Aún huele a verano aquí
Y eso es para usarlo, sí
Hoy algo me gano aquí
¡Ay! (Shaka)

[Outro: Shakira, Anitta, Danna Paola & Lele Pons, Todas]
Oh-oh-oh, se pasa rico soltera
Y ahora las lobas
Tengo derecho de portarme mal pa' pasarla bien
Estoy suelta, ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Ay, qué rico
Se pasa rico soltera
Mira qué rico
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay
Tengo derecho de portarme mal
Pa' pasarla bien
Estoy suelta y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera
Se pasa rico soltera
Uh-uh
Tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien
Pa’ que ese cabrón, cuando me vea, le duela
Se pasa rico soltera
Tengo derecho de portarme mal pa' pasarla bien
Pa’ que ese cabrón, cuando me vea, le duela
Se pasa rico soltera
ENGLISH TRANSLATION FROM SPANISH:

[Intro: Shakira]
Shaka!
I went out to clear my mind
And tired of being off, I decided to turn myself on
I changed friends because the ones I had only talked about him
I had to learn the hard way that I have nothing to lose
And like them too

[Chorus: Shakira]
I have the right to misbehave to have a good time
I'm free now, and I can do whatever I want
It's so much fun being single
I have the right to misbehave to have a good time
I'm free now, and I can do whatever I want
It's so much fun being single, ah (Shaka)

[Verse 1: Shakira]
The day is perfect for boats, the beach
And to go a little wild (Ah)
On the sand, lying on the towel (Ah)
That plan never fails, -ails, -ails
This girl has fans
And a broken heart, just like Sanz (Ah)
Many try to get with me
But few actually give me what I want
I'm picky, with little history
Normal, for obvious reasons
I’ve grown afraid of love
If a guy texts me, screenshot and send it to his girl

[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]
No one’s gonna tell me how I should behave
They can have their opinions

[Chorus: Shakira]
But I have the right to misbehave to have a good time
I'm free now, and I can do whatever I want
It's so much fun being single
I have the right to misbehave to have a good time
I'm free now, and I can do whatever I want
It's so much fun being single, ah

[Verse 2: Shakira]
I booked a hotel with a sea view
I got lit with just one cocktail
I wore little clothing to show off some skin
The queen bee is dripping with honey

[Refrain: Shakira]
It still smells like summer here
What’s wrong with that?
If it's meant to be enjoyed
And my body is saying

[Chorus: Shakira]
I have the right to misbehave to have a good time (Shaka!)
I'm free now, and I can do whatever I want
It's so much fun being single, ah, ah, ah

[Refrain: Shakira]
It still smells like summer here
What’s wrong with that?
If it's meant to be enjoyed
And my body is saying
It still smells like summer here
And that's meant to be used, yes
Today I’ll win something here
Oh! (Shaka)

[Outro: Shakira, Anitta, Danna Paola & Lele Pons, All]
Oh-oh-oh, it's so much fun being single
And now the wolves
I have the right to misbehave to have a good time
I'm free now, and I can do whatever I want
Oh, how fun
It's so much fun being single
Look how great it is
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay
I have the right to misbehave
To have a good time
I'm free now, and I can do whatever I want
It's so much fun being single
Uh-uh
I have the right to misbehave to have a good time
So that when that jerk sees me, it hurts him
It's so much fun being single
I have the right to misbehave to have a good time
So that when that jerk sees me, it hurts him
It's so much fun being single
