Shakira will release Empty Cup, which she produced with Manuel Turizo, on June 29.
In the preview, lyrics seemingly targeted at Pique have been noticed by sharp-eared fans.
The popstar, 45, took a brazen swipe at her ex as she sings: "You are always busy with so much business. It would be nice, my love, a little leisure.
"Relax here on the sofa and give me your attention. The phone rings, use your hand with me I know you're hot , but I'm much hotter."

She teased the new track on Instagram along with the caption: "On mermaid watch" while uploading a video of her surfing through blue waters.
The Colombian superstar announced her separation from Pique last May after spending 11 years together.
But this is not the first time Shakira has taken a stab at Pique as Empty Cup follows in the wake of the hits I Congratulate You, Monotonía, Music Sessions #53 with Bizzarap, and TQG.
She belted out the Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53 diss track in a racy leather outfit for the first time, on The Tonight Show in March.

Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, Shakira said the song has been "a healthy way to channel my emotions" - and added she had to "put up with so much c**p".
She took to the stage in a mesh bodysuit and leather trousers to give her first ever live performance of the song - which soared the charts and hit the top spot on the Billboard Global 200.
In the brutal song, Shakira took swipes at Pique's new girlfriend Clara Chia, 23, who he was rumoured to have been started dating before they split.
Shakira made it crystal clear she is referring to Clara with the lyrics: “I’m worth two 22's. You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo. You traded a Rolex for a Casio.”
And Pique responded to the song by turning up to work in an £8,000 Renault Twingo.
He also boasted that his new seven-a-side project the King’s League had landed a sponsorship deal with Casio - adding that the cheaper watch would “last a lifetime”.
The track which reached millions of views on YouTube in just a matter of weeks also includes the lyrics: "I'm too big for you, that's why you're with someone just like you."
The diss track BZRP Music Sessions #53 forced the footie ace and public relations student Clara into hiding, in a bid to avoid the backlash.
Last month, Shakira also released a new song titles Acrostic, where she recalled her time with the retired Barcelona defender.
She sang: "Only one plate was broken, not all the dishes , and although I don't know how to turn the other cheek, learning to forgive is wise."
She then goes on say: "If things are damaged, they are not thrown away, they are repaired, problems are faced and faced. You have to laugh at life even though the wounds hurt."
The release of Shakira's latest track comes after rumours began swirling that she is now dating Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton.
The alleged couple have been seen enjoying a string of cosy outings tor.
Lewis showed off his chivalry when he whisked her off for a boat day with pals in Miami - by picking her up from the back of her £12million beach mansion late last month.
He made sure Shakira didn't have too far to walk as she trotted down her private dock for the day out on the open-top cruiser.
The Mercedes driver, 38, quickly climbed out of the boat to lend the newly single mum a hand as she joined the group onboard.
Lewis later ensured she made it home safe as he dropped her back off at her plush new pad, where she counts the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin and Matt Damon as her neighbours.
Shakira's repeated rendezvous with Lewis have caused a stir since they enjoyed a dinner together at the lavish Miami restaurant Cipriani.
Smiling at each other, Shakira appeared to join 92-time race winner Lewis and pals at his table in a short video snapped by a fan.
Her attendance at the F1 Spanish Grand Prix in recent weeks has invited a host of speculation surrounding her love life.
Shakira appeared in high spirits when she was seen mingling with Tom Cruise at the Miami Grand Prix in May.
Spanish media reported that the Mission Impossible star, 60, was "absolutely mesmerised" by the singer and had even told a close circle of friends that he felt a connection with her.
Sources claimed that Tom was "giddy" after the chat while adding that the interactions were similar to "how he acted" when he first got with his ex-wife Katie Holmes.

An insider told Page Six that there was "chemistry" between the pair - with Tom sending her flowers after the meeting.
But Shakira reportedly shot down his advances and instead begged the actor to leave her alone and stop flirting with her.
