Quite a few fans still cannot believe that Shakira and Gerard Pique are not together anymore. Everyone once considered both of them the most ‘perfect’ couple that could ever exist. However, they’ve now broken up and moved on with their respective lives.

About a month ago, Shakira released a surprise diss track against her ex-boyfriend. The lyrics of that track are nothing short of genius and the song instantly went viral. Nonetheless, the music industry has been following a similar trend for the last few years.

The Colombian star’s diss track is a hardcore breakup song with a heavy amount of shade thrown at Pique. Have you ever wondered why these intense breakup songs always do so well?

Why did Shakira’s breakup song become so successful?

Apart from Shakira, artists like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus have become masters of the ‘breakup’ song genre. One of the main reasons for this is empathy. Every single person has experienced heartbreak or breakup at some point in their life. Such songs do well because people start feeling ‘less alone’. That sense of comfort when you know that even someone else has gone through a similar phase is extremely calming.

Lavinia Rebecchini of King’s College, London, claims that songs like these allow a person to self-reflect on their own experiences. While being calm, the lyrics from these songs also allow people to compose themselves and vent out their inner struggles. Breakup songs also allow individuals to get answers to certain unanswered questions from the past.
