Lebanese-Colombian superstar Shakira and Colombian singer Manuel Turizo announced their latest song, “Copa Vacía”.

The track marks the first collaboration between the pair. It is set to drop on June 29

“We made a movie,” the Colombian artists teased on social media, sharing a poster of the upcoming music video.

The poster looks straight out of a movie with Shakira taking the role of a mermaid and Turizo as the prince.

On June 9, Shakira hinted for first time at the new song, when she posted a photo of herself as a mermaid with the cryptic caption, “You want thingamabobs? I got twenty…,” a lyric from The Little Mermaid‘s “Part of Your World.” She didn’t offer anymore details, leaving fans wondering what she was up to. 

“Copa Vacía” will follow Shakira’s sweet song “Acróstico," which is a love letter to her children. The “Acróstico” music video, which dropped in May, features her two sons — Milan and Sasha — who sing and play the piano alongside her.

“This year Milan has written songs that have made me tear up and Sasha has dedicated hours playing the piano and discovering his voice,” Shakira wrote in Spanish on social media when the video dropped. 

“Both have spent some time with me in the studio and upon hearing this song, they’ve asked to be part of it. They’ve felt it and interpreted it in their own way and for themselves, with the same passion and emotion of a person who carries music within them.”
