Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover

My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I'm conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words.

I always have you in my heart.

Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself

Writing in English was a major challenge. I didn't want other songwriters to write for me. I wanted to preserve the spirit of my songs in Spanish. I am the same Shakira in English as I am in Spanish.
