TQG (part. Shakira)

KAROL G's 'TQG,' featuring the iconic Shakira, is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and moving on from past relationships. The song's title, 'TQG,' is a play on the Spanish phrase 'Te Quiero Mucho' (I love you a lot), but with a twist that suggests 'Te Quiero Gone' (I want you gone), highlighting the theme of wanting an ex-partner out of one's life.

The lyrics speak to the experience of seeing an ex-partner with someone new and the mixed emotions that come with it. KAROL G starts by addressing the falsehood in believing that a new relationship can fill the void left by an old one, comparing it to covering a wound with makeup - it's not visible, but the pain is still there. She then moves on to assert her growth and independence, emphasizing that she has moved on and is focusing on her own success, which includes making money and enjoying life. The line 'Estoy más dura, dicen los reportes' suggests that she's become stronger and more resilient, as reported by others.

Shakira's verse continues the theme of self-improvement post-breakup, with the phrase 'triple M' indicating that she's become 'Más buena, más dura, más level' (better, tougher, more on level). Both artists reject the idea of competing for a man's attention and instead celebrate their newfound freedom and success. The song's upbeat tempo and confident lyrics serve as a declaration of independence from past relationships, encouraging listeners to focus on their own growth and self-worth rather than seeking validation from others.
