Shakira says Gerard Pique deserves "a million love songs".
The 37-year-old singer has heaped praise on her partner, insisting while she's written many tracks for him over the years, she never feels like it's been "enough".
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, she said: "I've written many love songs for Gerard. But it's never enough. I feel that he deserves a million love songs written for him."
Together, the couple welcomed son Milan into the world in January 2013 and Shakira has admitted Gerard's career as a soccer star for Barcelona means they have to be mainly rooted in the Spanish city.
She explained: "I have to live in Barcelona because Gerard is anchored here.
"Footballers are like soldiers, he can't really travel and go away with me. I'm trying to work out how I'm going to do my next tour.
"I miss him when I'm away and the baby is so little. I sometimes feel guilty."
However, the star also admitted she'd learned a lot from Gerard about being selfless and thinking "about being a team player".
She said: "He has a totally different mindset to me. He always thinks about how everything he does will impact on his team. That's very different to megalomaniac artists!
"I'm my own boss, I don't have a band and don't have to report to anyone. I was also an only child.
"I've flown solo my whole life and he has taught me so much about being a team player."

Fergie is in "positive" talks to join the 'X Factor' judging panel.
The Black Eyed Peas singer is being lined up to complete a quartet of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and returning star Cheryl Cole, with show bosses are "excited" by the idea of landing another big name.
An insider told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It's not a done deal just yet but things have been positive.
"Both sides are keen to move things forward and people at the show and ITV are excited at the prospect of having Fergie.
"She brings a lot to the show and her success globally with the Black Eyed Peas and her solo albums obviously speaks for itself. On top of that, she looks fantastic and fans love the glamour of the live shows."
Meanwhile, it is said reports Cheryl wanted to be the only female on the panel are off the mark - and it is claimed she "would love" to be joined by another woman on the show.
Speaking to the Sunday People newspaper, a source said: "Cheryl would love the other judge to be a woman.
"She is very supportive of young women in showbiz and would love to have another female on her side."

'The Voice' coach Ricky Wilson has told his female stars to start working as a team.
Although the Kaiser Chiefs front man knows his contestants are all battling to win the BBC singing competition, it is said he wants them to stop seeing each other as simply "obstacles that need to be smashed".
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, a source revealed: "The girls on Ricky's team are by far the most competitive and there has been a lot of bitching going on.
"They see each other as obstacles that need to be smashed out of the way. It began as a few snide remarks, but then the claws really came out ... A few days before the knockout rounds one singer was left in tears.
"That's when Ricky decided enough was enough. He told them it was fine to be competitive but they had to realise they were a team and the only chances they were scuppering were their own."
On tonight's show (16.03.13), viewers will see Christina Marie and Emily Adams showing much less of a union than the contestants on will.i.am's team.
The insider added: "It was obvious they were willing each performer to fail.
"If looks could kill, there would have been some serious casualties. It's fair to say Ricky will be glad when he has just three acts left."

John Legend thinks fatherhood has "changed" Kanye West.
The 'Ordinary Love' singer, who is friends with the rapper and his fiancée Kim Kardashian, feels the pair are well-suited and says the birth of their nine-month-old daughter North has had a real affect on Kanye.
John told BANG Showbiz: "I think fatherhood has changed him, it can't help but change you when you have this beautiful young thing depending on you to protect them and nurture them."
The 35-year-old singer, who married model Chrissy Tiegan last year in Italy, thinks Kanye's wedding will be much more "grand" than his own nuptials were.
He said: "He's engaged to Kim now, once you're engaged it's like you're already married anyway, you've made that commitment to each other, it's damn near official.
"I'm excited for him and Kim, I think they're great for each other. Kanye came to my wedding and I know he loved that experience, I don't know what he'll do for his own but he's a little more grand than I am.
"Ours was really beautiful and picturesque and more of a destination wedding. I'm just happy for him and Kim, and their child is beautiful."
But despite being more reserved than his controversial friend, he insists he doesn't give him advice when it comes to his opinions or personal life.
He said: "We're both grown-ups, we've all been through a lot and seen a lot. I don't think we need each other's advice on this sort of thing.
"We know what we're doing. We definitely talk about music a lot and our opinions about art. I don't really try and tell him how to run his social life, nor does he do that to me."

Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx has got married.
The legendary rocker tied the knot with Courtney Bingham after three years with the model in a ceremony in front of their family and friends yesterday (15.03.14).
Taking to Twitter after the ceremony, he wrote: "Hot damn. I'm a married man.... @how2girl looked absolutely beautiful.Now it's time to PARTY. (sic)"
A representative for the couple also confirmed the news to People magazine, and the pair were wed at Greystone Mansion in Los Angeles.
The ceremony - which was attended by 130 guests - is said to have had a Gothic rock and French countryside theme.
Those who celebrated the happy day with the newlyweds were greeted by peacocks, while they later enjoyed a triple berry dessert from Sweet Lady Jane - a favourite of Courtney's.
While the bride wore a custom ivory gown, the groom went with a black suit with a black bandana tied around his head.
The iconic bassist's proposal was announced back in November 2012, and he said they were "beyond happy".
He tweeted: "When Courtney and I were in St Bart's I popped the question and she said YES....We would like to thank everybody who has been tweeting and posting online us congratulations....Both of us and our families are beyond happy."

Nicole Scherzinger has accepted Lewis Hamilton's proposal.
The couple are said to be engaged after reports the Pussycat Doll had snubbed his three previous offers of marriage following their reconciliation late last year.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "Lewis is doing his best to keep the news under wraps but he is absolutely delighted. He got down on one knee and Nicole finally accepted.
"The plan is they are going to live together in Switzerland and travel together when Lewis is racing."
It is said the decision for her to "support him" while he focuses on her Formula 1 efforts will mean Nicole takes a step back in her own career for a while.
The insider added: "Of course, this means her career will have to take a back seat for a while but she is ready to support him on the track.
"Lewis will be the main breadwinner when Nicole is not working and she will always have access to his private jet if she needs to travel.
"It is the ideal plan for both of them and will hopefully lead to a big summer wedding in August when Lewis has a three-week break from his F1 schedule."

George Michael reveals he quit smoking cannabis "over a year-and-a-half" ago.
The 'Faith' hitmaker explained he has "completely stopped" taking the drug, and been clean for over 18 months.
Asked if he still smokes marijuana, he told The Big Issue magazine: "Not at all. I've completely stopped. I haven't touched it for well over a year-and-a-half now."
The star also revealed how his stay in Pentonville prison in 2010 - following a car crash while high on cannabis and anti-anxiety pill Amitriptyline - was "easier" than he expected because he knew it was "deserved".
He explained: "Jail wasn't great. I just thought, get your head down and get on with it.
"It turned out to be easier than I was expecting because I knew I deserved to be there ... I was pretty overwhelmed by the love and support [the fans] showed me."
He also opened up about his battle with pneumonia a few years ago, during which he spent weeks in an intensive care unit.
He said: "On a sub-conscious level it was very frightening and I'll probably never feel quite as safe again.
"But I was just so grateful to come out alive and get back to my home in London."

Theo James had a month's stunt training for 'Divergent'.
The 29-year-old actor plays Tobias 'Four' Eaton in the forthcoming sci-fi film and wanted to ensure his character as the leader of the Dauntless - a rebellious group who pride themselves on their bravery - had a "powerful physical presence" on screen.
He explained: "We had about a month of training, which was great. I wanted my character 'Four', to have a powerful presence physically so you felt you didn't want to mess with him!"
Although 'Divergent' has been tipped to be similar to 'The Hunger Games', which stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, James insists it's about "identity".
He added in an interview with We Love Pop magazine: "It's actually quite different. There is of course crossover, the strong female lead and a future where the world has gone through some kind of catastrophe war, but generally that's where the comparison ends. It's more about identity."
'Divergent', which is based on the novel of the same name by Veronica Roth, stars Shailene Woodley as Beatrice "Tris" Prior as the female lead and will be released later this month.

John Legend was given career advice by Prince and Michael Jackson.
The 'All Of Me' hitmaker met the music legends separately but revealed both stars gave him the same advice about taking control of his career.
John exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "[Prince] is a genius. I've met him a few times. We know a lot of the same people in the business and he was signed to Columbia for a time.
"I met him at some of his gigs earlier on in my career, in 2004 or 2005, and I've been to a few of his famous after-parties, after The Grammys.
"He's one of the best performers in the world. I'm star-struck when I talk to him. I just try not to act too nervous around him."
The 35-year-old singer had dinner with late 'Bad' hitmaker Michael at a Formula One event in Bahrain in 2006 and talking about "music and travelling."
John said: "Both he and Prince have had their issues with record labels and they gave me advice about publishing rights and how much to give up.
"It's hard to make those changes when you're in the midst of a contract. As you renegotiate you have to renegotiate based on any power you think you have. It's about who has leverage and taking as much control as you feel you can, while also getting as much cash as you think you should get."

Joey Essex is "too busy" with his new show to think about dating girls.
The 'Educating Joey Essex' star claims he doesn't have time in his busy schedule to talk to girls and despite his admission that he is "back in contact" with his ex-girlfriend and former 'The Only Way Is Essex' co-star, Sam Faiers, he insists he's still single.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I mean, I'm single but I have just been concentrating on the show, really. I'm too busy [for girls] at the moment. Every single day I'm getting up at early hours of the morning doing different things."
Despite his busy schedule, Joey has been working on rekindling his romance with Sam, following their split last June, and admits they became close again after she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease earlier this month.
He explained: "We've got back in contact with each other, but we're just friends at the moment. So we are talking. I will always be there for her, no matter what happens. It's not nice to hear that someone's ill, is it? She's got a special place in my heart."
Meanwhile, the reality TV hunk praised Sam's sister, Billie Faiers, on her pregnancy and thinks the Minnie's Boutique co-owner and her fiancé, Greg Shepherd, will make great parents.
Joey gushed: "I've congratulated her, yeah ... it's amazing. She will make an amazing mother, she's really nice, so congratulations to her."
'Educating Joey Essex' begins on ITV2 tonight (16.03.14) at 9pm.

Emilia Clarke has been banned from eating "anything that tastes good".
The 26-year-old actress is currently undergoing a gruelling regime of preparation ahead of appearing as Sarah Connor in 'Terminator: Genesis', and her strict diet includes a ban on wheat, sugar, caffeine or dairy.
She said: "I have not been allowed to eat anything that might taste at all good. But don't think I'm complaining because, believe me, I know exactly how lucky I am."
Eyeing a high tea spread of sandwiches, scones, cookies, sweets, cream and teas, she added: "Everything on these plates look amazing but, heartbreakingly, I'm not allowed to eat any of it. Not one thing on this table. Except a cup of tea. One cup of tea. No sugar. No cream."
As well as her diet, the 'Game of Thrones'' star has been "kicking a lot of ass" in fight training for her new role.
She told Britain's InStyle magazine: "I've been spending all day, every day in weapons training. I've been shooting guns, weightlifting, kick boxing and generally kicking a lot of ass."

Perrie Edwards has asked Zayn Malik to help her work out.
The Little Mix star - who got engaged to the One Direction star in August last year - wants her hunky fiance to "motivate" her to get fit since she's too "lazy" to do it herself.
Perrie said: "I've asked Zayn to [help me work out] because I'm really lazy and I need motivating but we never have time."
The pint-sized blonde insists she doesn't wear make-up to the gym because she thinks it will give her bad skin, and band mates Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson agree.
Asked about whether she wears make-up to the gym, Leigh-Anne said: "Oh, no way!"
Perrie explained: "When you wear make-up in the gym you're sweaty and then you get really bad skin. You're better off just taking it off - letting yourself sweat and then putting it on nicely rather than getting it on your pores."
Jesy added: "When we do dance rehearsals I have to have make-up on. I like to get into character, like Beyonce and Sasha Fierce, and I can't do it if I don't have make-up on or I'll feel rank. But if it's just the gym, then definitely not."
Perrie also admitted she often tricks herself into thinking household chores, including walking to the fridge, count as exercise, while bandmate Jade Thirlwall insists housework can be strenuous.
Perrie told We Love Pop magazine: "I'll walk up the stairs instead of getting the escalator or I'll walk to the fridge and be like, 'Yeah, that was good for me'. "
Jade said: "When I have a day off and I do all the housework I'm exhausted by the end of it. It is very strenuous."
