Background

First rumours of a Karol G and Shakira collaboration started circulating in January 2023.[1] On February 14, Shakira wished Karol G a happy birthday on social media similar to how she did for her previous collaboration with Bizarrap for volume 53 of his music sessions.[2] The song was reported to contain messages to their ex-boyfriends, Anuel AA and Gerard Piqué.[3]

Release and promotion

On February 21, 2023, Karol G officially revealed the song to be a collaboration with Shakira, despite having previously revealed that there would be no feature on the track.[4] That same day, Giraldo announced that she had a surprise for her fans in New York's Times Square which would turn out to be a teaser for the music video.[5]

Critical reception

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian commended the ethereal atmosphere that "TQG" has "though frankly it’s a bit phoned-in."[6] Ernesto Lechner from Rolling Stone called the song "underwhelming", stating "her much-anticipated track with Colombian icon Shakira, "TQG," feels underwhelming, especially since it arrives only weeks after the media circus that surrounded Shakira’s massive new track with Bizarrap."[7]

Commercial performance

"TQG" debuted at number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart dated March 11, 2023, becoming Karol G's first and Shakira's sixth top ten on the chart.[8] On the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs the song debuted atop the chart, becoming Karol's sixth and Shakira's thirteen number one on the chart.[9] On the Billboard Global 200 the song also debuted atop the charts on the week dated March 11, 2023, becoming both Karol G and Shakira's first number one song on the chart.[10]
