Not in love with this  Her weakest lead single perhaps ever
It doesn't feel massive and special like all her other lead singles. She is an iconic superstar on the level of MJ and Madonna and this just doesn't cut it.

My Spanish teacher loves Shakira, and I told her about CRTFY and she hasn't listened to it. I feel like she's one of those people who loves the artist but doesn't look out for releases and gets to music when it's convenient. I told her about the song yesterday and today and I feel like either
1. forgot
2. doesn't care because...
a. she doesn't care for her English music
b. doesn't like Rihanna
i'm not sure though. i mean, she also has a child, so i understand...but if it was me, i would be checking right away as soon as i heard about it

Shakira slays the hardest when she embraces her Latin roots (Andean music with Whenever, reggaeton/Latin pop with La Tortura, Hips Dont Lie, merengue with Loca which slayed in Europe). Her biggest flop era was when she went electro-pop/disco with She Wolf, the pop rock Don't Bother also bombed and now this reggae mess will also probably flop in the long run.

Breathe sis!
Don't Bother is an amazing song, you can't drag it just because it wasn't commercially successful. She Wolf was a "flop" but it was a new side of Shakira and if you listen to the album its a amazing and she combines electropop with her own style.

the verses are everything, the chorus though ruins the songs momentum

Venus is my bop. Yup, I've found my myself falling in love with Despedida lately, such a cute bop.

As a Shaki fan, here's my personal Top of Shakira's Best Lead Singles
1. Ciega, Sordomuda (1998)
2. Estoy Aquí (1995)
3. Suerte (Whenever, Wherever) (2001)
4. La Tortura (2005)
5. Loca (2010)
6. Loba/She Wolf (2009)
7. Can't Remember to Forget You (2014)
8. Don't Bother (2005)
CRTFY may switch places with DB when all the hype is gone. I agree she lost an opportunity to break into the US scene with this single, but at least she didn't sell her soul and she bring us a new sound.

Trust me, you'll learn to fall in love with the chorus. It's literally become my favourite part, especially when you're outside and the wind in your hair. You'll feel fabulous!

I think the chorus should've went this way:
PRE-CHORUS
Oh here we go
He a part of me now
He a part of me
So where you go I follow, follow, follow
CHORUS
I can’t remember to forget you
I keep forgetting I should let you go
But when you look at me
The only memory is us kissing in the moonlight
Oh, oh, oooh, oh
Oh, oh, oooh, oh
I can’t remember to forget you
Oh, oh, oooh, oh
Oh, oh, oooh, oh
I can’t remember to forget you, I can’t remember to forget you
And on the second chorus, Rihanna joins Shakiar on the oh ohs. That way, the flow of the chorus makes more sense IMO.

I hope they're not releasing the video in February. How does Shakira usually release the videos for her singles?

I'd prefer "Cause when you look at me, the only memory is us kissing in the moonlight"

Why do people compare this song to diamonds? Diamonds was a ballad and way better thn this song. This song sounds like a summer smash to me.
