Shakira also sings, "I have the right to behave badly / To have a good time / I'm on the loose and now I can do whatever I want." 

Here is the verse in Spanish:

Salí pa’ despejarme, y ya cansada de estar apagada decidí prenderme,

cambié de amigos porque los que estaban solo hablaban a las malas 

me tocó que no tengo nada que perder

y como ellos también.

Pueden opinar, pero yo tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien, ya estoy suelta

y ahora puedo hacer lo que quiera, se pasa rico, soltera, 

tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien, ya estoy suelta

According to insiders, Shakira and her team requested attendees to put their phones away and enjoy the performance. It is reported that Winnie Harlow's boyfriend, Kyle Kuzma, and the rapper French Montana were there. During the music video, Shakira wore a golden mini-dress with a slit in the back. She danced onstage, showing off some of her signature dance moves.
