Writing in English was a major challenge. I didn`t want other songwriters to write for me. I wanted to preserve the spirit of my songs in Spanish. I am the same Shakira in English as I am in Spanish.
My team and I have reunited two elements that coexist with difficulty: respect and affection, because when they love you they don`t respect you and when they respect you they don`t love you.
My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I`m conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words.
You`re a song written by the hands of God.
