Songs of celebrities with which they “revenged” on their exes

“The muses used to annihilate those they inspired,” says a famous phrase by the American writer Katherine Neville, included in her novel “The Eight” (1988). A perception of inspiration that hunts perfectly with the reason that has led renowned singers to write, for the most part, heartbreaking songs of heartbreak.

And although the melodies are the product of a broken heart, it is not the only thing that has been “broken”. Well, in the musical city, these kinds of songs break more records than a sweet love song.

Proof of this is the most recent production by Colombian singer Shakira. The hit that she is called “Monotonía” and that she sings in collaboration with reggaeton singer Ozuna has broken several records, including being the biggest debut in Spanish so far this year.

“Broken heart”

Apart from “monetizing” pain with a song, there is a real and painful story. It is a heartbreak song, indirectly dedicated to the father of her two children with whom she spent 12 years, where she says precisely what the Colombian had already published on her social networks: “It was not your fault, nor was it mine, it was the fault of the monotony “.

In the clip, the woman from Barranquilla appears crying in a store and, after being attacked with a bazooka, she has a hole in her chest. Her heart is then seen to fall to the ground and a man tramples on it.

In the video you can also see a man very similar to Piqué. Although his face is not seen, his countenance is identical to that of the Barcelona footballer. But without a doubt the detail that supports this theory the most is that he comes out wearing outfits that the real Gerard used when he recorded the video for “I fell in love”, a song that Shak composed for him.

Prior to the hit “Monotonía”, the Colombian had already released the song “Te congratulations” that she released together with the Puerto Rican Rauw Alejandro. In such a way that the new bachata is the second single from her new project, which since she released “El dorado” in 2017 she had not produced any studio album.
