Shakira and Maluma Reunite After Eight Years With New Merengue Song “AGUA”: Stream

Shakira and Maluma have rekindled their passionate musical partnership with the release of their new track "Agua" on September 17, 2022. The sultry merengue-inspired single represents the duo's first official collaboration since 2018's "Clandestino." Crafted with a modern tropical twist, "Agua" masterfully fuses Caribbean rhythms with polished pop arrangements, setting the perfect backdrop for exploring the depths of attraction.

Throughout the song, water and thirst serve as potent symbols for the intense longing between the artists. In the chorus, Shakira and Maluma confess, "Because when you look at me, my mouth waters / You've quenched my thirst since you've been here," underscoring the potent chemistry between them.

Maluma's playful, self-assured verses add an extra layer of allure, while Shakira's signature vocals bring both sensuality and authority to the track. The visually stunning music video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, further amplifies the song's central metaphor through the use of reflections, liquid surfaces, shimmering light and captivating choreography.

"Agua" follows the pair's previous hits "Chantaje," "Trap," and "Clandestino," as well as their remix of Carlos Vives' "La Bicicleta." Both "Chantaje" and "Clandestino" achieved chart-topping success, with "Chantaje" holding the No. 51 spot on the Hot 100 and "Clandestino" topping three Billboard airplay charts. The duo's latest reunion is now available for listeners to enjoy.
