Global pop sensation Tyla and international superstar Shakira have officially finalized the release of their highly anticipated first collaboration, titled “Repeat.” Scheduled to drop on February 26, the single is already generating massive excitement, with fans eager to hear what promises to be a bold and refreshing fusion of two powerful musical worlds.
Reports of the collaboration first surfaced in April 2025, when “Repeat” was officially registered with ASCAP on April 30. At the time, news of Tyla and Shakira working together sent social media into a frenzy, sparking months of speculation, anticipation, and fan theories. Since then, the two artists have taken their time carefully shaping the record, opting for precision over rush — and now, the wait is finally over.
“Repeat” is expected to mark a major sonic shift for Tyla, who has spent the past year dominating charts with her signature blend of pop, R&B, and Afrobeats-inspired sounds. Teaming up with Shakira — a global icon known for her genre-blending artistry — signals an exciting evolution in Tyla’s sound and artistic direction, potentially opening the door to even broader international appeal.
The release won’t be limited to audio alone. “Repeat” will arrive with a full music video, adding another layer to the collaboration’s impact. The visuals are currently being shot, and behind-the-scenes photos of Shakira on set have already begun circulating online, further fueling excitement. While Tyla has remained largely under wraps in the leaked content, fans are eagerly awaiting the first official glimpses of the duo together on screen.
Tyla enjoyed a remarkable run throughout 2025, keeping fans in a chokehold with consistent releases, viral moments, and growing global recognition. Each drop further cemented her status as one of the most exciting young artists on the world stage. With “Repeat,” she looks set to carry that momentum straight into 2026, starting the year with one of her biggest collaborations to date.
For Shakira, the collaboration represents another strategic and exciting partnership, reinforcing her ability to connect with new generations and emerging global stars while staying culturally relevant.
As February 26 approaches, anticipation continues to build. With two powerhouse artists, a confirmed release date, and visuals on the way, “Repeat” is shaping up to be one of the hottest releases of the year. Fans are already marking their calendars — and if the hype is anything to go by, this collaboration is set to make serious waves worldwide.
