    1. Coverage of a song in the context of an article primarily about an album as a whole doesn't count towards the notability of the song
    2. Media reprints of press releases, or other publications where the artist, its record label, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the work also don't count
    Most of the sources cited in the "reception" section are the former, most of the other sources cited in the article are short and regurgitate what Shakira said in an Instagram post. Mach61

"Cómo Dónde y Cuándo" (English: "How Where and When") is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. The song was released on 22 March 2024 as a part of Shakira's twelfth studio album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. The song marks a return to the rock genre.[1]

Background

The song was initially revealed on 29 February 2024, when Shakira unveiled the tracklist of her twelfth studio album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.[2] She described the writing process of the album's songs as "rebuilding herself": "As I sang them, my tears were transformed into diamonds and my vulnerability into resilience".[3]

On 8 March, Shakira shared a preview of the song on social media.[4][5] According to Shakira, the song discusses how certain life experiences can impact people's emotions.[6] She also stated that the song is "one of the rockiest songs on the album", and described the lyrical content as "realistic, but also optimistic", and emphasized that with the song lyrics "Entre la rutina y el estrés. La vida es una per..." ("between routine and stress, life is a b...").[7][8][9][10][11] Her fans noted that the teaser snippet of the song sounds like her early 2000's musical output.[12] Based on the snippet alone, La KeBuena Hidalgo 106.7 FM radio station predicted that the phrase "cómo dónde y cuándo" will "stick around".[13]

During an interview with the Venezuelan program Tu Mañana, Venezuelan singer Servando Primera discussed the creative process he went through with Shakira and the other songwriters to create the song. Initially expecting to create a song with urban or reguetón sounds, he was surprised when Shakira decided to change direction and work on a different genre in the studio. He commented that "Shakira is not an artist who limits herself to one genre, she has never done so even though we all long for the aroma and footprints of her 'pies descalzos'".[14][15] The song marked the first time of him working with Shakira, a feature hailed as "unmissable" by Reporte Confidencial.[16] In addition to Servando, two other composers of the song, Daniel Rondón and Rafael Rodríguez, are also Venezuelan.[17]

Composition

"Cómo Dónde y Cuándo" is a pop rock[18] ballad[19] instrumentally led with guitar and drums.[20] A solo song, it explores the themes of love and optimism[21] with lyrics about being in company of your loved ones[22], emphasizing moving on from the past, embracing the present, and looking forward to the future with optimism.[23] In an interview for RCN Radio's La Mega, Shakira was asked which of her songs would be perfect for overcoming heartbreak and she chose "Cómo Dónde y Cuándo".[24]

Live performances

Shakira performed "Cómo Dónde y Cuándo" live for the first time at a free concert in Times Square, New York City on 26 March 2024.[25] Noticias Caracol described how Shakira "shone like a rockstar" in front of a record-breaking audience of 40,000 people.[26] Before performing the song, she introduced it proclaiming that "Cómo Dónde y Cuándo" is "one of [her] favorites from the new album", proceeding to comment that "it's an optimistic song that reminds us that the past is [useless] and only the future is what is remembered".[27] The introduction was answered with the audience applauding.[27] While performing the song, Shakira played a custom Fender PJ bass while her usual bassist Joe Ayoub played the guitar.[28]

Reception

Overall, "Cómo Dónde y Cuándo" was well received by critics, receiving praise for showcasing Shakira at her best many and for acting as a return to her rock roots and being an homage to her 90s music.

Pablo Gil from El Mundo took note on the song sounding 'old' and called it a nod to the fans of Shakira's older music.[18] Billboard's writers ranked the song as the sixth best on the album, noticing how Shakira going "back to basics" with the song, and calling it a homage to her own 90s music while inscribing Shakira's vocals on the song as 'powerful',[20] and praised the song as a "stellar return to her rock roots".[29] Suzy Exposito from Rolling Stone described the song a "free-spirited guitar ballad" reminiscent of the "moody rockera" Shakira of the 90s, while portraying her tone as angsty and comparing the song to her single "Inevitable".[19] Thania Garcia from Variety narrated how Shakira "returns to the framework of guitars and drums she was best known for during her rockstar era", comparing the song to her singles "Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos" and "Dónde Están Los Ladrones?".[30] María Porcel from El País reflected how the song is "the one that most reminds us of the old and long-awaited Shakira".[31]

Fernanda Pérez Sánchez from Vogue México y Latinoamérica outlined how "Cómo Dónde y Cuándo" is "the most hopeful song" on the album, dubbing it as a "spiritual heir" to Shakira's 2011 single "Sale el Sol", all while feeling that not enough people were giving the song the recognition it deserved.[22] Pablito Wilson from Las2orillas delineated the song as "straight pop rock song without many embellishments" that sounds like it's from her breakout albums Pies Descalzos or Dónde Están Los Ladrones?, but "with the quality that is now used for radio hits".[32] Radio Uno Bogotá 88.9 FM depicted how the song's "profound lyrics show the life philosophy of the singer, who has experienced ups and downs in her career and personal life", summarizing the track as "a melody that reflects the complexity of life and the ability to be reborn from the ashes".[24]
