Soon, one lucky fan will be riding like Shakira!

On Wednesday, Nov. 20, Shakira announced that she would be giving away her customized purple car — which holds deep significance — to a fan in celebration of her latest single "Soltera" (Spanish for single).

The contest, which is in partnership with Univision, is also a gesture of gratitude from the Colombian star, 47, after the overwhelming love and support she's received.

“This car was a gift to myself as I began my single life, but I realized that what truly matters is human connection,” Shakira said in a press release, referring to her split from ex Gerard Piqué.

The "Hips Don't Lie" singer added, “The car, the clothes, the material things — they don’t transform us. It’s the people we love and the connections we build that truly make a difference."

To enter the contest, fans will need to upload a dance to "Soltera" on Instagram and TikTok with the hashtag #ElCarroDeShakira by Nov. 29. Shakira will then select five finalists and the public will vote for the winner on Dec. 5. The winner will be announced on Dec. 6 on on Despierta América.

To enter, you must be at least 18 years of age. For more information on the contest visit elcarrodeshakira.com.

Shakira released "Soltera" on Sept. 25 and the track has already climbed to the Global Top 50 on Spotify. Meanwhile, her album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran (Women Don't Cry Anymore) recently earned a Grammy nomination for best latin pop album.

In October, the singer-songwriter — who's kicking off her world tour in May 2025 — reflected on the impact her seventh studio album had on her healing journey in a cover story interview with GQ Spain.

"For many months after my separation I had been silent, trying to begin my mourning, but I couldn't really begin to grieve until I started writing music," she explained. "It was my way of healing. And it continues to be. Grief is a process that is not linear. It is full of peaks and valleys."

The breakup also affected her perception of love: "It’s not the same. The love of a partner disappointed me. It affected my idiosyncrasy. It’s inevitable, at least for the moment, that I have lost trust in the other."

Still, she jokes that the loss of trust makes for great new material. "The healing process is long. It will take me several albums!" Shakira told the outlet.

Shakira and Piqué were together for 11 years before their highly publicized split in 2022. One year later, cheating rumors surfaced and the former soccer player began dating Clara Chia Marti.
