Singer-dancer Shakira, who takes her boyfriend Gerard Pique's opinions on her work, took his permission to do "Can't Remember to Forget" with Rihanna.

"Can't Remember to Forget" features the two stroking each other while smoking cigars, reports people.com

"He's very territorial, since he no longer lets me do videos with men, well, I have to do them with women," she said in an interview to the new issue of Billboard.

Some of her big decisions are taken with him, together.

The mother of one added that Pique is also the reason why she won't do raunchy videos anymore.

"It's more than implied in our relationship that I can't do videos like I used to. It's out of question, which I like, by the way. I like that he protects his turf and he values me in a way that the only person that he would ever let graze my thigh would be Rihanna," she said.
