EDIT: The post has been updated with Shakira & Carlos’ feel-good “La Bicicleta” video. Watch it below.

Shakira dropped “La Bicicleta,” a collaboration with fellow Colombian superstar Carlos Vives, in late May. The “Try Everything” diva teased the video today (July 6) and it finds the hitmakers going back to their roots. Directed by Jaume de Laiguana, the visual was filmed in both of their hometowns (Barranquilla and Santa Marta) and includes footage of places they frequented as children including Shakira’s college.

While “La Bicicleta” is the lead single of Carlos’ new LP, his duet partner is hard at work on her own. She recently posted a pic with long-time collaborator Luis Fernando Ochoa with the caption “Writing songs!” The pair first worked together on the Latin superstar’s breakthrough album Pies Descalzos way back in 1995 and have collaborated on every album since with the exception of 2009’s She Wolf. They usually pen Spanish-language material, which means a bilingual project is highly likely.
