What it is
"Acróstico" is a Spanish-language pop ballad by Shakira, released in May 2023 as a single and later included on her 2024 album Las mujeres ya no lloran. It works as an acrostic: the first letters of the lines in the first verse spell her son Milan's name, and the second verse does the same for her son Sasha.
