"(Entre Paréntesis)" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira and Tejano regional Mexican band Grupo Frontera. The song was released on 22 March 2024 as a part of Shakira's twelfth studio album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.
Background
"(Entre Paréntesis)" is a regional Mexican song and the first collaboration between Shakira and Grupo Frontera. The song marks the third time Shakira explores Mexican music, the first time being with "Ciega, Sordomuda", the lead single of her fourth studio album Dónde Están Los Ladrones? (1998), and the second one being "El Jefe", a single also featured on her twelfth studio album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.[1]
"(Entre Paréntesis)" was first announced on 29 February 2024 when Shakira shared the tracklist of her twelfth album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.[2] She described the album's creation process as an "alchemic process", where she "reconstructed herself" with each song, and "while singing them, turned [her] tears to diamonds and vulnerability to strength".[3]
On 2 March 2024, Grupo Frontera shared a teaser video of the song at their concert at the sold-out Bésame Mucho music festival in Austin, Texas.[4][5] The video featured Shakira who shared a message with the concert audience.[6] After that, the band played a snippet of the song, and finished the performance with the phrase "Grupo Frontera con La Loba".[7] Silvia Sanchez from Red Uno predicted based on the snippet alone that the song will be a success on both regional Mexican and pop genres.[8]
In an interview for Billboard, Grupo Frontera proclaimed their excitement to work with Shakira, adding that they "have been fans of hers since [they] can remember, she has always been the top and it has been an honor to have collaborated with her".[9]
