Shakira’s new song with Bizarrap has definitely made an impact worldwide, not only because of the controversial divorce between the Colombian singer with   Gerard Piqué  , but also because the track is incredibly catchy, quickly becoming a fan-favorite song in different countries.

And while the song is popular for containing post-breakup lyrics, it seems kids also love the melody, despite not knowing what it is about. Many parents have shared sweet videos of their children singing along to Shakira ‘s latest song, changing the lyrics from “Pa’ tipos como tú,” to “Patitos como tú.”
