The song was released as a single to anticipate Shakira's eleventh studio album El Dorado (2017) on 28 October 2016 by Ace Entertainment.

It was produced by Shakira, Maluma, Chan "El Genio" (Rude Boyz) and Kevin Jiménez ADG. Maluma and Shakira previously collaborated on a remix of Carlos Vives' single "La Bicicleta". "Chantaje" is a pop and reggaeton song. Lyrically, the song was considered a "battle of the sexes", where the male protagonist is not sure where he stands with his lover, and the female protagonist does not exactly clear things up. The music video for "Chantaje" was filmed in Barcelona, Spain, with video director Jaume de Laiguana, Shakira's long-time collaborator. Commercially, the song topped the Spain, Chile, Mexico and US Billboard Latin Songs charts, while also reaching the top ten in Colombia, Argentina, Portugal and Switzerland.

Cuando estás bien te alejas de mí 
Te sientes sola y siempre estoy ahí 
Es una guerra de toma y dame 
Pues dame de eso que tienes ahí 

Oye baby no seas mala 
No me dejes con las ganas 
Se escucha en la calle 
Que ya no me quieres 
Ven y dímelo en la cara 

Pregúntale a quienquieras 
Vida, te juro que eso no es así 
Yo nunca tuve una mala intención 
Yo nunca quise burlarme de ti 
Conmigo ves, nunca se sabe 
Un día digo que no y otro que sí 

Yo soy masoquista 
Con mi cuerpo, un egoísta 

Tú eres puro, puro chantaje 
Puro, puro chantaje 
Siempre es a tu manera 
Yo te quiero aunque no quieras 

Tú eres puro, puro chantaje 
Puro, puro chantaje 
Vas libre como el aire 
No soy de ti ni de nadie 

Como tú me tientas cuando tú te mueves 
Ese movimiento sexy siempre me entretiene 
Sabes manipularme bien con tus caderas 
No sé porqué me tienes en lista de espera 

Te dicen por ahí que voy haciendo y deshaciendo 
Que salgo cada noche, que te tengo ahí sufriendo 
Que en esta relación soy yo la que mando 
No pares bola a toda esa mala propaganda 
Pa-pa'qué te digo na', te comen el oído 
No vaya a enderezar lo que no se ha torcido 

Y como un loco sigo trás de tí 
Muriendo por ti 
Dime que hay pa'mi, bebé 
Qué? 

Pregúntale a quienquieras 
Vida, te juro que eso no es así 
Yo nunca tuve una mala intención 
Yo nunca quise burlarme de ti 
Conmigo ves, nunca se sabe 
Un día digo que no y otro que sí 

Yo soy masoquista 
Con mi cuerpo un egoísta 

Tú eres puro, puro chantaje 
Puro, puro chantaje 
Siempre es a tu manera 
Yo te quiero aunque no quieras 

Tú eres puro, puro chantaje 
Puro, puro chantaje 
Vas libre como el aire 
No soy de ti ni de nadie 

Eh eh eh eh eh 
Nadie 
Eh eh eh eh eh 
Nadie 
Eh eh eh eh eh 
Nadie (nadie)

Con mi cuerpo un egoísta 

Tú eres puro, puro chantaje 
Puro, puro chantaje 
Siempre es a tu manera 
Yo te quiero aunque no quieras 

Tú eres puro, puro chantaje 
Puro, puro chantaje 
Vas libre como el aire 
No soy de ti ni de nadie 

Eh eh eh eh eh 
Nadie 
Eh eh eh eh eh 
Nadie 
Eh eh eh eh 
Nadie (nadie)
Eh eh eh eh

Alright, alright baby 
Shakira, Maluma 
Pretty Boy 
Colombia 
You feel me 
Pretty boy
