Shakira and Alejandro Sanz Reunite — Again! — for Love Song ‘Bésame'
They're back! After multiple hit collaborations, including 'La Tortura' and 'Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No,' longtime friends Alejandro Sanz and Shakira have reunited again for 'Bésame,' a new collaboration featured on Sanz's new EP, ¿Y Ahora Qué? 'I'll tell you the truth, if life is beautiful, you and it are so similar/ In the end I don't dare let fate decide/ If there's any risk of seeing myself without you, I don't want to bet,' sings Sanz in Spanish on the love song, before Shakira chimes in with shining vocals.

'That was probably one of the very few songs that played in Spanish in America on American radio,' Shakira told Rolling Stone about that moment. 'So, it's like celebrating after 20 years the road that we've traveled, and how many obstacles as artists we have overcome.' 'Bésame' marks the third time they've worked together on a song. Twenty years ago, Sanz joined Shakira for Fijación Oral, Vol. 1's biggest hit. The pair then reconnected on his LP El Tren de Los Momentos in 2006 for 'Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No.' Sanz has been teasing the new collaboration on social media, sharing clips of their performances and snippets of the new song's lyrics. 'A thousand years may pass, along with a thousand more, but what happens to us on stage will remain one of a kind!' Shakira wrote on Instagram after they performed together. Sanz commented, 'Our chemistry is kept for the stage, but my love for you travels with me everywhere.' Sanz's new EP features tracks with Grupo Frontera on 'Hoy No Me Siento Bien' and Manuel Turizo on '¿Cómo Sería?' The new project follows 2021's self-titled album, Sanz.

The pair released "Bésame" on Thursday after previously collaborating on the 2005 hit "La Tortura." They recently performed "La Tortura" together during the North American leg of Shakira's Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour. "We'd been talking for a while about working together again," Sanz told Billboard in an interview. "I used to joke with her, saying, 'When are we going to make another song? You only make songs with talented, handsome guys!' We hadn't found the right song that we both connected with. It's tough after making a song like 'La Tortura' to find the right reason to team up again." "You don't want to be too predictable or repeat the same thing, but you also want the new collaboration to be just as sweet," he added. The track appears on Sanza's EP Y Ahora Que?, which dropped Friday. The EP contains six songs, and also includes collaborations with Grupo Frontera and Manuel Turizo.
