The Colombian singer released a minute-long teaser of the song on Thursday across various social media platforms. The full song featuring Nigerian singer Burna Boy is expected to be released on May 14.

In the teaser, Shakira performs inside the majestic Maracana Stadium in Brazil. She performs with a troupe of dancers before an aerial view of the stadium is revealed, with the phrase 'We are ready'.
