With Rolling Stone, the “Provenza” singer unpacks the album’s fun energy to reveal a bitter root:

“This definitely represents a specific phase of my life. The name of album is a phrase I kept repeating to myself when nothing felt great. I mean, I was going through the best moment of my career, but personally I was really disconnected from myself and from my friends. I wasn’t unhappy, but I wasn’t happy either. So every day I’d say to myself, ‘It’s okay, mañana será bonito — tomorrow will be beautiful.’”

“TQG” by Karol G (ft. Shakira)

With Shakira’s highly-publicized 2023 so far, names are hardly a secret. Shakira’s split from cheating soccer star Gerard Piqué wasn’t only tabloid gold but paid the big bills. Her beloved diss track, “BZRP Music Session #53,” garnered more than 82 million views on YouTube in 24 hours, the fastest in the video platform’s history. The single also peaked on numerous Billboard charts.

Karol G’s separation from Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA from a few years ago wasn’t the healthiest clean-break, either. After their breakup, Anuel hooked up with Dominican rapper Yailin La Más Viral, whom he got pregnant, had her baby, and only staying married for a mere nine months.

The message of “TBQ” is no different. The acronym for “Te Quedó Grande ” roughly translates to “too much for you to handle” and exudes boss energy. The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer acts as a bona fide mentor for Karol, bodying choreography making for unforgettable music video collaboration.
