But that's not the news, since that's not an outstanding feat these days. But it's more about the fact of how she ended up profiting off a personal drama, that some people may have thought would hurt her career endeavors. I mean, I bet she'd rather have no relationship issues and still have the family she used to than a successful single, but still, this is a story of how the drama ended up benefiting this song. The video which features Rauw Alejandro, premiered on April 21, and by the end of May it had only reached around 54M views. But after news broke last month that Shakira and the father of her children, Gerard Piqué, broke up due to him allegedly cheating on her, the video exploded in views reaching 100M views by June 18, and becoming the most watched video worldwide of that week. A couple of weeks later it's already on 200M views, and according to kworb it's expected to hit 300M views this month if it continues at this rate. Te Felicito is a song where Shakira "congratulates" her love interest in a sarcastic way because of how good of an actor he is, implying he's a cheater. At the time of its release, it didn't make much sense and it was received as another generic song because the rumors of their split hadn't come out. But after the break up and the cheating allegations spread through the internet, and media outlets pointed out the messages from her latest song, Te Felicito suddenly gained all that attention it didn't have at the time of its release. So in the end, at least something positive came up out of all this unfortunate situation for Shakira. Te Felicito turned out to be a better prelude to her upcoming studio album than the previous single Don't Wait Up, released in July 2021, which to this date has only gathered 48M views
