Following the release of "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53" with Bizarrap and "TQG" with Karol G, Shakira confirmed that she had a song with Manuel Turizo titled "Copa Vacía", set to be released later in 2023. Several weeks later, images of the music video began to leak. Rumors started circulating that the song would be released soon and it was expected that it would be in April 2023, since Manuel Turizo has his birthday in that month. However, due to the massive leaks, the song was not released then. Plans were eventually scrapped in favor of the release of Shakira's single "Acróstico" on May 12, 2023.
On June 9, 2023, the singer shared a photo of herself as a mermaid on her social media that says "You want thingamabobs? I got twenty...". On June 15, she shared a new preview of the song.
The single was announced on June 19, scheduled to be released on June 29, 2023. She also announced that the duo "made a movie", referring to the music video.
On June 28, just one day before its release, he publishes a preview of the song's video, and in it you can see a partially sunny day in a sea where Manuel Turizo submerges in the water and Shakira is found swimming like mermaid and takes her out of the water and they stay on a seashore. Also in another part of that video you can see Shakira sirena tied up as it appears on the cover.
The official music video was released simultaneously with the single on June 29, 2023. Its premiere establishment had been scheduled a few hours before. In the video, we can see Shakira dressed as a mermaid with pink hair. At the beginning, the singer is seen lying on the shore of a sea full of garbage and singing. Later, we see Manuel Turizo who submerges himself in the sea water and meets a mermaid and takes her out of the sea water and takes her with him. Throughout the video, Manuel Turizo is seen singing in a chair in a shelter next to Shakira, who has her in a fish tank. Later, Shakira and Manuel Turizo can be seen singing in a cave and dancing. At the end of the video, Shakira is seen as she appears on the cover of the song, dressed as a mermaid and tied by her hands.
Copa Vacía

A este ritmo no puedo seguir
Ya no sé qué más hacer
Para obtener más de ti
¿Por qué no quieres cuando yo quiero?
Estás más frío que el mes de Enero
Pido calor y no das más que hielo
Hace rato tengo sed de ti
Yo no sé por qué
Quedo con ganas de más
Y queriendo beber de una copa vacía
Hace rato tengo sed de ti
Yo no sé por qué
Quedo con ganas de más
Y queriendo beber de una copa vacía
Ah, ah, ah
Siempre estás ocupado con tanto negocio
Te haría bien, mi amor, un poquito de ocio
Relájate aquí, en el sofá, y dame tu atención
Oh, oh-oh-oh
No hay que ser poeta pa' endulzarme el oído
Suelta el teléfono, usa tu mano conmigo
Sé que estás bueno, pero mucho más buena estoy yo
Oh
Hace rato tengo sed de ti
Yo no sé por qué
Quedo con ganas de más
Y queriendo beber de una copa vacía, ah
Como si no sintiera nada
Ahora me miras tan diferente
Y yo nadando en contra 'e la corriente
Me tiene en la calle buscando
Con qué llenar este vacío que se siente
Yo no soy mecánico
Pero trato de arreglarlo y no funciona
Reanimando un corazón que no reacciona
No quiero intentarlo con otra persona
Hace rato tengo sed de ti
Yo no sé por qué
Quedo con ganas de más
Queriendo beber de una copa vacía
Hace rato tengo sed de ti
Yo no sé por qué
Quedo con ganas de más
Queriendo beber de una copa vacía
Ah, ah, ah
Tus besos son de agua salada
Bebo y no me calma nada
Te espero y me desilusionas
Y así no funciona
Pero no quieres cuando yo quiero
Estás más fría que el mes de Enero
Te doy calor, pero tú siempre hielo
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Hace rato tengo sed de ti
Yo no sé por qué
Quedo con ganas de más
Queriendo beber de una copa vacía
Hace rato tengo sed de ti
Yo no sé por qué
Quedo con ganas de más
Queriendo beber de una copa vacía
Ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Eh, eh
The lyrics of "Copa Vacía" by Shakira and Manuel Turizo depict a relationship where one person constantly yearns for more love, attention, and affection from their partner. The song begins with the singer expressing their frustration at the lack of reciprocation in the relationship, feeling as if they can't keep up with the current rhythm and don't know what else to do to receive more from their partner. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desire for a deeper emotional connection.
The chorus of the song reveals the singer's thirst for their partner, not knowing why they are left wanting more and feeling as if they are drinking from an empty glass. The verses address the partner's busy schedule and the singer's plea for some quality time and attention. Despite acknowledging their partner's physical appeal, they emphasize their own worth and appeal, suggesting that they deserve more than what they are currently receiving.
The lyrics further express the singer's frustration and disappointment in their partner's indifference, describing how they are swimming against the current in their efforts to find someone who can fill the void they feel. The singer attempts to fix the situation but realizes that their efforts are futile, ultimately conveying that they don't want to try with anyone else and continue to long for their current partner.
Overall, "Copa Vacía" explores the theme of unfulfilled desires and the struggle to maintain a meaningful connection in a relationship where one person constantly feels unsatisfied and thirsty for more.
