Reception


Lizzette Vela from e-consulta.com commented that the song "promises to be a hymn of feminine liberty and empowerment", continuing how Shakira "invites people to celebrate independence and challenges critics of her personal life" in the lyrics.
Chris Malone Mendez of Forbes described the song as a "spiritual successor" to "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53", because the singer sang about "having the right to behave badly and have a good time, celebrating being free and doing as she pleases, and enjoying living a single life".
Writing for Italian online newspaper Fanpage.it, Elena Betti stated that "Shakira wants to be alone" because the song is "a hymn to independence". Betti stressed that the song is about "a story that surely marked her deeply", probably about her ex-husband Gerard Piqué and the fact that "Shakira says she changed friends because those who were left kept telling her about him".
