Can't Remember to Forget You by Shakira and Rihanna is F/F/M in the lyrics (or possibly M/F/F/M, it's clear they're both involved with a man but I'm not entirely sure if it's the same guy) but the visuals are exclusively F/F. I think a lot of people missed the F/F content in the lyrics, it's a bit tricky with the pronouns: there's clearly a man referred to with "he" and "boy," but when they say "you" or "us," Shakira and Rihanna are singing about their characters' relationship with each other.

The visuals are pretty great, lots of sensual shots of both of them, naked snuggles, they hump opposite sides of a wall.

Also my favorite part of that lyrics page is a quote from Shakira about working on this song/video with Rihanna:

“[W]orking with her was utopia. She’s the sexiest woman on the planet. And at the end of the day, we’re both just basically Caribbean girls. The chemistry was so good and so real. She taught me dance moves. She was a sweet teacher.”
