Shakira seems to deal with her ex Gerard Piqué through her music after the Spanish football player is said to have been unfaithful.
The 45-year-old Colombian pop star first appeared to take a jab at Piqué, 35, in her single Te Felicito (I Congratulate You), as noted by The sun.
A key line in the song is translated as: ‘To make you whole / I broke myself to pieces / I was warned but I didn’t listen / Don’t tell me you’re sorry / I know you well and I know you’re lying. ‘
Speaking her truth: Shakira has included lyrics and imagery in her recent songs and music videos that appear to be critical of her ex Gerard Piqué, whom she parted ways earlier this summer after he was besieged by rumors of infidelity; seen in 2014
In an interview with Elle Magazinethe hitmaker was asked about the line and it is clearly related to her marital problems.
“Is that the feeling you had that you had to give a part of yourself during that relationship that might have been hard to get back?” she was asked by Lulu Garcia-Navarro.
“I can only say that, consciously or unconsciously, everything I feel, everything I go through, is reflected in the lyrics I write, in the videos I make,” said Shakira. “If the glove fits, it fits. As I said before, my music is that station.’

In the video, he appears to play both a romantic interest for Shakira, and a robot clone of the same person, which Shakira tinkers with until it comes to life.
In her single Te Felicito she sings: ‘To make you whole / I broke myself to pieces / I was warned, but I did not heed / Don’t tell me you’re sorry / I know you well and I know you’re lying ‘
What she feels: “I can only say that, consciously or unconsciously, everything I feel, everything I go through, is reflected in the lyrics I write, in the videos I make,” she told Elle. “If the glove fits, it fits. As I said before, my music is that channel’
Terrifying: The video shows Puerto Rican singer Raw Alejandro as a boyfriend and a vending machine designed to look like him
The clip also includes some disturbing footage, such as when Shakira opens a fridge, only to find the vending machine’s head on the shelf, where it continues to sing with her.
Earlier this month, Shakira was seen filming a video for her single Monotonia, which also criticized her relationship with Pique.
Photos previously published by DailyMail.com of the pop star who filmed the video near Barcelona showed her holding a fake heart in her hand, presumably to symbolize her heartbreak.
She also had a black circle across her chest that was presumably intended to be replaced later with computer-generated images of a hole in her chest.
The timing would also suggest the footage was related to Shakira’s controversial split from Pique as he made his debut with his PR student girlfriend Clara Chia Marti, 23, just days earlier.
Last month there was footage of Piqué passionately kissing his newfound love interest in a new video made by the Spanish media outlet socialite at the Summerfest Cerdanya festival in Catalonia.
The now-former couple announced their breakup in June after a dozen years together, although it seemed at the time Shakira didn’t want the relationship to end.

The split announcement followed rumors in the Spanish tabloids that the couple was on the point of breaking up with sources alleging he cheated on the star.
Shakira’s statement at the time read: “We are sorry to confirm that we are breaking up. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding.’
Spanish outlet El Periodico reported that the couple has been living apart for a few weeks after Pique was evicted from the family home by the pop star.
According to sources, Piqué has been living a “party lifestyle” in a bachelorette pad ever since, enjoying a night out with his teammates.
Neither side has addressed allegations of cheating, but journalist Emilio Pérez reported: “(Shakira) has made the decision to split up. That’s true. It has happened.
‘That’s why there is distance. There may be nothing left, but that (infidelity) is over.’
Family first: According to the Spanish newspaper El Periodico, Shakira and Gerard try to remain friends for the sake of their children – sons Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven – despite their relationship being strained; seen in 2017 in NYC
The couple had been together since 2011, and the couple had met last year while filming the music video for her World Cup song Waka Waka.
Pique’s team happened to win the World Cup that year, where his soon-to-be girlfriend performed in the final match.
Although the two corresponded in 2010, the relationship between the two megastars would not officially get off the ground until early 2011.
In late 2012, Shakira would use her Instagram platform to announce to fans that she was pregnant with the soccer star’s son.
Just two years after the birth of son Milan, the couple entered the second round and revealed they were expecting their second child, Sasha, who was born in 2015.
The couple admitted publicly that they had no plans to get married, but that didn’t stop them from living a family life.
Speaking to Gary Neville on a recent episode of The Overlap, Gerard explained that he hadn’t proposed because their relationship “works well the way it is.”
