Shakira is known for embodying her Latino-Arabic heritage with Spanish lyrics and sexy bellydancing moves-but now, it looks like she’s dropping English bops again!
On July 16, the singer released her newest single (and first English song since 2016): “Don’t Wait Up.” She also teased the tune on social with a pre-save link and a short video of a text conversation that urged her text partner not to wait up for her. As “Don’t Wait Up” is reportedly the lead single for Shakira’s upcoming album and her first solo release since 2017, she wowed fans even further with an accompanying music video.
But just WAIT until you see the super sexy outfit she rocked in the video … es muy caliente!

The official music video for “Don’t Wait Up” shows Shakira catching some waves in the moonlight and showing off her slick dance floor moves. While paddling around on a neon surfboard, she wears a gorgeous gold two-piece bikini, with matching sparkly fabric that drapes across her midriff. Is it supposed to be a dress? It’s totally sheer!

To clear up the confusion, Shakira told People that the surfing outfit was a “compromise.” Because she doesn’t like cold water, she wanted to be in a wetsuit, while the director envisioned her in a bikini.

That’s when they agreed upon the gold bikini and see-through dress. Although it’s technically more material, it still shows off the Colombian popstar’s world-famous curves. Despite her claims that she’s “not that fit,” we’d beg to differ. The 44-year-old looks just as ageless and gorgeous as ever!

“The #DontWaitUp video was so much fun to shoot-dancing and surfing all night long,” Shakira captioned one of her promo pics on Instagram. “Thanks to all those who worked so hard to make it happen. I hope you guys enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it!”
The post racked up almost 2.5M views in just a few days-so safe to say, fans are loving her look in the video.
