Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, Shakira’s 12th studio album, was released on March 22 and includes the hits “Te Felicito,” “Monotonía,” “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” “TQG,” “Acróstico” and more.
In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon around the album’s release, the “Hips Don’t Lie” musician opened up about feeling “free” to make the new album — which marks her first in 7 years, following her 2022 breakup from ex-partner Gerard Piqué. (They share sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9.)
“I’ve been putting out music here and there, but it was really hard for me to put together a body of work,” she said.

“I didn’t have time. It was the husband-factor. Now I’m husband-less. Yeah, the husband was dragging me down. Now I’m free. Now I can actually work,” continued Shakira, who was never legally married to Piqué during their time together.
She explained that her new album’s title translates to “Women no longer cry” in English, adding on Fallon, “It’s men’s turn now. For too long we have been sent to cry with a script in our hands and without an end just because we are women. We have to conceal our pain in front of our kids, in front of society.”
