The Mike Ho-directed video sees Shakira get to work in a car body shop before performing on stage with her band.
It comes on the heels of her release of the fantasy-filled 'Puntería' video with Cardi B which she released Friday, and has been viewed more than 6.5 million times.
The album has accumulated 6.4 billion streams globally and shows music's power to transform even the most trying experiences into precious moments.
In a glowing album review, Variety said: 'Shakira’s voice occasionally reaches a peak where it feels like it could bend and snap but it doesn’t - and the results are intrinsic growls, raw and magnetic.'
Last night, Shakira performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She joined Jimmy on the couch to chat about the new album and more.
During the show she blamed her ex-boyfriend Gerard for dragging her down' while discussing why it took so long to make her new album on Monday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC.
The Colombian singer shared her thoughts when Jimmy, 49, asked her why it had been more than seven years since she put out a record.
'I was putting out songs here and there but it was really hard for me to put together a body of work,' Shakira said. 'It was the husband. Now I'm husband-less. Yeah, the husband was dragging me down. Now I'm free. Now I can actually work.'
Shakira appeared on the show to promote her new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.

'Women no longer cry,' Shakira said. 'It's men's turn now.'
'For too long we have been sent to cry with a script in our hands and without an end just because we are women,' Shakira said.
'We have to conceal our pain in front of our kids, in front of society. We have to heal in a certain way. And I don't think anyone is supposed to tell us how to heal. No one is supposed to tell a She-wolf how to lick her wounds.'
Shakira said now women decide for themselves how to cope with the hardships of life.
Shakira explained her feelings that inspired her to create the 16-tracks of the album.
'I was raw,' Shakira said. 'I was dealing with a lot of stuff. I felt at times with a knife between my teeth. I was picking up the pieces of myself from the floor. I was trying to rebuild myself. Music was the glue.'
Shakira said she felt that she was 'transforming pain and anger and frustration into creativity and productivity and resilience.' She said that was why she picked the metaphor of the precious stones.
The Spanish soccer player and Shakira announced their split after 11 years together in June 2022, after she learnt he had allegedly been unfaithful.
Gerard, 37, is now dating model girlfriend Clara Chia Marti, 25, after she moved into the home he used to share with the singer last August.
Shakira said she met Cardi B in Paris during fashion week and felt that her album needed a dose of her powerful strength. Shakira said she reached out and Cardi said yes.
