1 and 2.Īfter attaining international success with her fifth studio effort, Laundry Service, in 2001, Shakira opted to create a two-part follow-up record.

And those 20 songs formed this project, Oral Fixation Vol. I found myself writing 60 songs and put myself on the mission of selecting my favorite ones, which happened to be 20. The idea of making a double project was never planned or premeditated, it just happened. In 2018, the song was selected as one of the greatest songs by 21st century women, by National Public Radio, ranked at 65. The song had amassed an estimated 13 million downloads by 2017, making it one of the best selling singles of all time. It also topped the charts in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, among other countries. The song was eventually certified Quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), where it has sold over 4 million digital copies and 1.9 million ringtones (only counting 2006), making it one of the best selling singles of all time in the United States. It also broke the record for the most radio plays in a single week and the fastest selling digital download song in the United States. 'Hips Don't Lie' became a global success, reaching the number one in 18 countries, including the United States Billboard Hot 100, becoming Shakira's first and only number one hit to date in the United States. It received several accolades, including a People's Choice Award, an MTV Latin America Video Music Award, and an MTV Video Music Award. Upon its release, 'Hips Don't Lie' received generally favorable reviews from music critics. 'Hips Don't Lie' is a Latin pop and reggaeton song which heavily incorporates samples from Jean's earlier single 'Dance Like This' and 'Amores Como el Nuestro' written by Omar Alfanno and performed by Jerry Rivera. The song was written and produced by Shakira, Jean, and LaTavia Parker. It was released in 2006, by Epic Records as the second single from the album. ' Hips Don't Lie' is a song by Colombian singer and songwriter Shakira, featuring Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean for the reissue of Shakira's seventh studio album, Oral Fixation, Vol.
