Gaga often gets dragged on ATRL for collab hits but not Shakira, why?
Well yes, it is dumb and we shouldn't be coming for Gaga all the time I guess, but there's still a very significant difference: The only 2 artists Shakira has ever collaborated with that are as big or even bigger than her were Beyoncé and Rihanna, and those songs aren't even Shakira's biggest hits. The only case we have like this for Gaga is Shallow, BC Bradley is no one in the music industry, but te song was still propelled by the movie. Bizarrap, Wyclef Jean, Fleshlygroud, Karol G and Burna Boy were and are still NOTHING (commercially speaking, not artistically) compared to Shakira. Most of those songs would've been just as successful without the featured artist, and they only have the feature as an artistic complement to the song. (E.g, the Bizarrap session isn't even a feature per se, he's literally just the producer of the song like Calvin is to Rihanna's We Found Love, or Red One is to Poker Face, he's just credited bc of the format of the release that helps him get promotion for his work as a producer/DJ). While I love Gaga and she's had plenty of hits on her own, I don't think Rain on Me or Die With a Smile would've been as big without the feature, because of how Gaga did with her solo songs in that moment, because of how prominently featured the other artists are in the songs, and in the case of Die with a Smile, it was mostly written by Bruno, has his signature style, and then she jumped on it (confirmed by them already), so basically it wouldn't even exist AT ALL without him, which isn't the case for songs like Dai Dai, Chantaje, Waka Waka, etc. (And Bruno is still the #1 artist in the world right now, just like Ariana was back when ROM was released, so…). Just saying. When have you seen ANY of those Shakira features getting to the top without her? She literally gave them their only WW hit 😂. Again, there's nothing wrong with features but that's the way it is. Shakira's features are like Just Dance, not like DWAS.

Shakira & Burna Boy - "Dai Dai" (2026 FIFA World Cup)
It honestly does. I love the production, the video is killer. The lyrics are great. And it doesn't have a part that's specific to this World Cup, like "This time for Africa". If you take the radio edit (the version she performed at the inauguration), and remove the bridge with the player's names, it becomes a universal anthem of motivation and hope. I can't believe this is happening tbh. Mother delivered again and it has nothing to do with Piqué.

Will Shakira ever release a good song again?
I'm sorry? Dai Dai is amazing. An absolute banger wtf. Plus is 100% original. 😒

She did peak back in 2009-2011, but the numbers she's pulling today are still massive. Your post makes no sense and it's just some hateful crap. HER TOP 10 MOST STREAMED SONGS DAILY: Die With A Smile 2,474,003 Poker Face 1,155,478 Just Dance 1,092,902 Bad Romance 1,021,784 Paparazzi 1,004,664 Shallow - Radio Edit 731,121 Judas 729,838 Telephone 727,736 Always Remember Us This Way 692,945 Abracadabra 554,886 SOURCE TOTAL STREAMS of songs released BEFORE 2018: 5,732,402 TOTAL STREAMS of songs released AFTER 2018: 4,452,955 DIFFERENCE: 1,279,447 Not bad.

What's your point? Yes, English-speaking people listen to Spanish music like Bad Bunny and some Spanish Shakira songs that have charted in the past within the Hot 100 top 50. Likewise, multiple US artists are successful in Mexico and manage to chart songs in English, like Taylor, Gaga, etc. But with Shakira, they always demand music in Spanish, but they forget she's also international, and they have said she's sold out and betrayed her Latin roots when, IMO, that's not the case. I doubt you have a clue about what I was talking about. Do you really think you're smart by coming for me? LOL. Have you been to the psychiatrist? Maybe try thinking or doing some research before opening your huge mouth. Hahaha #Prayingforyou

Rihanna is more versatile as an artist than Gaga. Surprised?
I usually hate on Gaga but: 1) Rihanna IS NOT an artist. She's a singer who doesn't write ANY of the songs she sings (maybe contributes just a little, but not enough). She's not a performer either, she's lazy AF. She just has an amazing voice and she's pretty. 2) She's NOT more versatile because she's only been adapting to whatever trend was hot in the moment, Gaga has re-defined genres and broken boundaries in lots of ways. Gaga is a real artist and she has real versatility. Keep you dumb post to yourself and sit down.

Shakira & Burna Boy - "Dai Dai" (2026 FIFA World Cup)
I'm happy she didn't released it in Spanish before because she's an international artist. It got the attention it needed in Europe and all over the world. It's so lame countries like Mexico don't support unless they understand every single word 🙄. It'll still be a hit in Spanish though. Good for her. LET'S MOTHERFUCKING GO!, MY GODDESS

Shakira & Burna Boy - Dai Dai (Alernative Version)
So, I'm already in love with the song as it is, but I decided to make one final edit, in which I add the "Dai Dai" (the chorus) part of the song one more time in the middle, and I removed the bridge in which she name drops the players and countries because it's not the most flattering to the ears haha . WHAT DO YOU THINK? Hit of the Century
