Shakira and Bizarrap brought their chart-topping collaboration to The show tonight.
The Colombian star and Argentine DJ visited Jimmy Fallon on Friday (March 10) to promote their global hit “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” which officially broke 14 Guinness World Records.
Before giving a sensational live performance of the track dis, which peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, Shakira sat down with Fallon and recalled hearing “Vol. 53” beats for the first time in Barcelona.
“It reminded me of Depeche Mode,” the 46-year-old singer recalls. “The song, if you listen to it, it kinda has that kind of cool, dark undertone. I like Depeche Mode. It is my favorite.”
The superstar added that she immediately knew the song would be a hit.
“I started feeling it in my body, you know. I usually have this kind of visceral physical reaction to music,” Shak explained. “If you see me, you know, in two parts, things are not going well. You know? I know when a song is working because then I suddenly start moving, like these little twitches from my tailbone to my hipbone, and then it translates into, you know, hip movements.
In “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53”, which also reached No. 1 on BillboardOn the Hot Latin Songs chart, Shakira is more deadpan and self-contained than ever, spitting verses at ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique and even throwing a punch at her new love interest.
