She also emphasized that she cannot take all the credit for this success. “And this achievement is not mine, but everyone’s.” She emphasized that we need to rise 70 times in a row. She continued, “Not in the way that society orders us to, but in the way that occurs to us, the one that helps us get ahead for our children, our parents, and for those who need us and hope in us.”

Sharing the message with her 53 million fans, The Hips Don’t lie singer simply added about Pique, “Sorry, I already caught another plane. I’m not coming back here, I don’t want another disappointment. You go around saying you’re a champion. When I needed you, you gave your worst version.” This even encouraged her furious fans to slam her ex-boyfriend. Ibai Llanos, a Spanish streamer who is a friend of Gerard Piqué, responded to the song live with the words, “Rest in peace Gerard Piqué.” Aside from the many artists, other people have weighed in on the song, both for and against it.
