Shakira and Cardi B are currently making the rounds with their collaboration “Puntería,” part of the former's latest album. Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.
The pop music song with love lyrics finds the two artists singing about a man who is no good to them, but whose game is so strong, they have fallen for him.
“Puntería” (which translates as “target”) was born after the two artists met at the Fendi show during Paris Fashion Week. In an interview during the filming of the music video, they discussed their first collaborative effort.
“I wanted to do something with Cardi. We were always debating internally whether it was a good idea to put someone on that song. I always imagined Cardi on this song. I reached out and here we are,” Shakira said. “It was so much fun working with you. It's that easy, honestly. He says “I'll do anything.” I say “Are you ready to work long hours?” Because I work long hours.' He says, 'I'll be there from 6 to 6 in the morning.'”
After admitting she was working with Shak, Cardi B gushed, “I knew it. I knew this day would come. He came. God is good, Jesus. I don't care if he wants me to meow — I do. I can not wait. Seriously, this is my dream.”
Below, see the full lyrics translated into English:
[Intro: Shakira]
You have good aim
You know where to target me to surrender, surrender
[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]
You have a way of getting my attention
You shoot me darts that go straight to my heart
Oh, and as many times as I try
Oh, it's impossible to avoid you
[Chorus: Shakira]
You have good aim
You know where to target me to surrender, surrender
He attacks me where it hurts the most, it doesn't suit me
But whether in your bed or mine, I forget all that
[Verse 1: Cardi B]
You made me anxious, thinking about sex
Baby, keep me company
Give me your fire, squeeze my ass, even though you're not the one for me
I took the night, night, put a man to sleep
Yes, I am very tired from face to toe
I'm from the Bronx, but I got a Georgia peach
I got an empanada, mom, that he likes to eat (Muah)
A wolf like Shaki', you are my tiger
Bite me hard, don't forget this booty
[Chorus: Shakira]
You have good aim
You know where to target me to surrender, surrender
He attacks me where it hurts the most, it doesn't suit me
But whether in your bed or mine, I forget all that
[Verse 2: Shakira & Cardi B]
Where the eye is, the bullet is
He shoots the target and I drop like nothing
But if you steal two kisses from me
I won't even think about the third one
I've been indecisive all night
And wake up with a shirt on
Now I don't know if I even want to stop
Your hands melt me, your lips drug me
Your bicep is driving me crazy
I never direct you, you always go straight
On my G spot
[Chorus: Cardi B & Shakira]
You have good aim
You know how to endure, the others run out of battery
He throws darts at me and it doesn't work
But I like it if it's in there
I'm getting kinky for you, I know Cardi B will never leave your mind
You have good aim
You know where to target me to surrender, surrender
He attacks me where it hurts the most, it doesn't suit me
But whether in your bed or mine, I forget all that
