The Grammy-award-winning artist, who has taken the billboards by storm this year, touched down on her priorities during her relationship with the soccer star.

Shakira, following her breakup, has released some tracks targeted at Pique. The singer has been on top of Colombian charts and is waiting to release another track alongside Mexican band Fuerza Regia.

Shakira comments on her breakup with Gerard Pique

Shakira and Gerard Pique were in a long term relationship during the Spaniard’s years at FC Barcelona. With the couple having kids together, Shakira spends most of the time taking care of her family. In her interview with Billboard, the pop star commented on how being in Barcelona made it tough to focus on her music career.

“Well, the thing is, I was dedicated to him. To the family, to him. It was very difficult for me to attend to my professional career while in Barcelona. It was complicated logistically to get a collaborator there. I had to wait for agendas to coincide or for someone to deign to come. I couldn’t leave my children and just go somewhere to make music outside my house. It was hard to maintain the rhythm,” she said.

According to the singer, moving to the United States helped her revitalize her career.“Sometimes I had ideas I couldn’t lock down. Right now, I have an idea and I can immediately collaborate with whomever I want to. Something inescapable about Miami, Los Angeles, and the U.S. in general is I have the logistical and technical support, the resources, the tools, the people. Living in Spain, all that was on hold,” added the singer.
