According to Page Six, Shakira said in an interview with Jimmy Fallon:

“I’ve had a very rough year after my separation, and writing this song, Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 has been so important to me."

The songstress said she recorded and released the song as it felt how other women relate to her situation with her ex.

“I have a sisterhood of women who have been through the same things that I have been through, who think the way I think, who feel the way I feel, who had to put up with so much cr*p the way I had to.”
