Acróstico
2023 single by Shakira
"Acróstico" (also known as "Acróstico - Milan + Sasha") (lit. 'Acrostic', Spanish: [aˈkɾos.t̪i.ko]) is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. The song was released on 11 May 2023, through Sony Music Latin as the third single from Shakira's twelfth studio album, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (2024). The song features uncredited vocals from Shakira's children Milan and Sasha.
At the 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards the record was nominated for Song of the Year, alongside other two song, "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53" and "TQG", making Shakira the first artist to achieve three nominations in the category at the same ceremony.
Background and release
Rumors began circulating about Shakira's next single being a collaboration with Manuel Turizo titled "Copa Vacía" but plans were scrapped in favor of releasing "Acróstico". On 10 May 2023, just one day before the song's release, Shakira announced "Acróstico" on all of her social media platforms.
Composition
"Acróstico" was co-written by Shakira, Keityn, Luis Fernando Ochoa and L.E.X.U.Z. Colombian songwriter Keityn, who had previously co-written "Te Felicito" and "Monotonía" for Shakira's album, stated in an interview that the inspiration behind the song was the acrostics that her mother used to compose for him when he was a child. The song thus contains an acrostic of Shakira's child's name "Milan" in the first letters of lines in the first verse, and a similar structure for her other child "Sasha" in the second. The song features vocals from both children.
