Intro

I went out to clear my mind

And already tired of being down, I decided to light up

I changed friends, because those who were there only talked about him

The hard way I had to learn that I have nothing to lose

And like them too

Chorus 1

I have the right to behave badly to have a good time

I'm free and now I can do whatever I want

It's a blast being single

I have the right to behave badly to have a good time

I'm free and now I can do whatever I want

It's a blast being single

Verse 1

The day is for a beach ride

And to cross the line

On the sand, on the towel

That little plan never fails

This girl has fans

And her heart broken like Sanz

There are many who hit on me

But few are what I want

I'm selective, little track record

It's normal, for obvious reasons

I got a phobia of love

Dog that writes to me, screenshot and for his girlfriend

Nobody is going to tell me how I should behave

They can have their opinion

Chorus 2

But I have the right to behave badly to have a good time

I'm free and now I can do whatever I want

It's a blast being single

I have the right to behave badly to have a good time

I'm free and now I can do whatever I want

It's a blast being single

Verse 2

I booked the hotel with a sea view

I got excited with just one cocktail

I wore few clothes to show my skin

The queen bee is dropping honey

It still smells like summer here

What's wrong with that, yeah

That is to use it and

My body is saying

Outro

It still smells like summer here

What's wrong with that, yeah

That is to use it and

My body is saying

I have the right to behave badly to have a good time

I'm free and now I can do whatever I want

It's a blast being single

It still smells like summer here

What's wrong with that, yeah

That is to use it and

My body is saying

Outro

It still smells like summer here

This is to use it, yeah

Today I'll win something here

It's a blast being single

And now the she-wolves

SONG MEANING

Soltera is Shakira’s sparkling ode to post-breakup freedom. Tired of feeling “apagada” (switched off), she flips the switch back on, swaps friends who keep mentioning her ex, and declares—loudly—that she has nothing to lose. The chorus, “Tengo derecho de portarme mal pa’ pasarla bien,” becomes her rallying cry: she has every right to misbehave if it means having fun.

From sun-drenched beach plans and flirty cocktails to playful warnings for any dog who dares slide into her DMs, Shakira paints single life as a delicious summer that never ends. The song mixes cheeky self-confidence with a wink of vulnerability (her heart is “partido como Sanz”), yet the overall message is clear: dance, laugh, and live on your own terms. Se pasa rico soltera—being single feels amazing!
