'Choka Choka' Lyrics & English Translation: Anitta & Shakira Team Up for New Song About Female Strength & Freedom - Listen Now!
Anitta and Shakira have dropped their new song “Choka Choka,” which will be featured on the former’s new album EQUILIBRIVM.
The singer’s label notes that the song is about a “woman who doesn’t conform to conventions but rather one who knows her strength and chooses to use it.”
Anitta said in a statement, “Each track on my album ‘EQUILIBRIVM’ is very intentional, especially in its message. ‘Choka Choka’ is about a free woman—self-aware, cheeky, complex, and incredibly powerful. Elements that have always been part of my universe.”
In the chorus of the song, Anitta sings, “Choca, choca, cuerpo con cuerpo, boca con boca.” This translates to, “Bump, bump—body against body, mouth against mouth.”
In Portuguese, Shakira sings on the song, “She’s a wolf and she’s a woman / And she won’t be satisfied until she gets what she wants.”
The women unite on the bridge and sing, “Living while leaving the past behind / Living without rules / Always doing whatever you want.”

The song’s producer, Doramola, said in a statement, “Anitta wanted to create something for Brazil, but with an international touch. So I went into the studio with that in mind: to create something that made a lot of sense in Brazil, but also worldwide. Papatinho is a legend and created an incredible funk percussion. I experimented with that on the drums. The song has a lot of energy, a lot of intensity. And who better to represent that sound than Anitta and Shakira?”
