Crafting Music for Film vs. Personal Expression

  • 🎬 Shakira explains that writing music for a film, specifically for the character Gazelle in "Zootopia 2," requires considering Gazelle's personality and the movie's message.
  • ✍️ This differs from her personal songwriting, which is largely autobiographical, drawing directly from her own life experiences.

The Song 'Zoo' and Its Universal Appeal

  • 🎶 Shakira's new song for "Zootopia 2," titled "Zoo," reminds her of her 2010 hit "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)".
  • 🌍 She describes "Zoo" as having a universal sound and message, making it a natural fit for her creative style.
  • 🎤 The lyrics shared, "We're wild and we can't be tamed. And we turning the floor into a zoo," highlight the song's energetic and untamed theme.
