"TQG" (acronym for "Te Quedó Grande") is a song by Colombian singer-songwriters Karol G and Shakira. The song was released on February 24, 2023, through Universal Music Latino, as the fifth single from Giraldo's fourth studio album, Mañana Será Bonito. Background First rumours of a Karol G and Shakira collaboration started circulating in January 2023. On February 14, Shakira wished Karol G a happy birthday on social media similar to how she did for her previous collaboration with Bizarrap for volume 53 of his music sessions. The song was reported to contain messages to their ex-boyfriends, Anuel AA and Gerard Piqué. Release and promotion On February 21, 2023, Karol G officially revealed the song to be a collaboration with Shakira, despite having previously stated there would be no feature on Mañana Será Bonito. That same day, Giraldo announced that she had a surprise for her fans in New York's Times Square which would turn out to be a teaser for the music video. Critical reception Alexis Petridis of The Guardian commended the ethereal atmosphere that "TQG" has "though frankly it’s a bit phoned-in." Ernesto Lechner from Rolling Stone called the song "underwhelming", stating "her much-anticipated track with Colombian icon Shakira, "TQG," feels underwhelming, especially since it arrives only weeks after the media circus that surrounded Shakira’s massive new track with Bizarrap."
