Shakira is turning lemons into lemonade when it comes to her next album.

“I want this music to build bridges, to empower people, to help women discover their own strengths," the singer, 47, said in a new interview with Allure, published on Monday, April 1.

“I was in the mud,” she continued, referring to her split from Gerard Piqué in 2022. “I had to reconstruct myself, to reunite all the pieces that had fallen apart.”

Shakira shares two kids with her ex.

Though the blonde beauty, who shares two sons with the soccer star, went through a lot, she's come out on the other side of it.

“Making this music has shown me that my pain can be transformed into creativity," she shared. “The songs are full of anecdotes and some very intense emotions I have experienced in these two years. But creating this album has been a transformation in which I have been reborn as a woman. I have rebuilt myself in the ways I believe are appropriate. No one tells me how to cry or when to cry, no one tells me how to raise my children, no one tells me how I become a better version of myself. I decide that.”

“In the past, when women went through a difficult situation, they were expected to mind their manners, to hide the pain, to cry in silence. That's over. Now, no one will control us. No one will tell us how to heal, how to clean our wounds," she continued.

The star talked about the process of making her new album.

In the interview, the mom-of-two was also asked about her beauty routine.

“I don't do a lot of s--,” she shockingly revealed. “I hydrate with marula oil and hyaluronic acid. And when I have an appearance, I do the craziest thing. I massage my face and neck very vigorously because I believe that circulation, the irrigation of blood to the skin and muscles, can rejuvenate, so I look more plumped.”

Shakira also talked about her beauty routine.

“I've tried every single hair product on the market. There are not many out there that can deal with damage, moisture, frizziness, shine, and all of that so...” she continued. “I don't know if every woman goes through life like this, wondering, Am I pretty enough? Am I considered beautiful or not? Sometimes you just look in the mirror and say, 'It's a yes. And I can conquer the world.'"
