"Hips Don't Lie" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira featuring Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean for the reissue of Shakira's seventh studio album, Oral Fixation, Vol. 2. It was released on February 28, 2006, by Epic Records as the third single from the album. The song was written and produced by Shakira, Jean, Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis and LaTravia Parker. "Hips Don't Lie" is a salsa and reggaeton song, which heavily incorporates samples from Jean's earlier single "Dance Like This" and "Amores Como el Nuestro" written by Omar Alfanno.
Upon its release, "Hips Don't Lie" received generally favorable reviews from music critics. It received several accolades, including a People's Choice Award, an MTV Latin America Video Music Award, and an MTV Video Music Award. "Hips Don't Lie" reached the number one spot on charts in at least 55 countries including the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, becoming her first number one single in the country. It also broke the record for the most radio plays in a single week in the United States. The song was eventually certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), where it has sold over three million copies. It additionally topped charts in nations including Australia, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Having sold over ten million copies by the turn of the decade, the track became the best-selling single of the 21st century in physical singles and digital downloads combined. It is widely recognized as one of Shakira's signature songs.
In June 2005, Shakira released her sixth studio album, the Spanish-language Fijación Oral, Vol. 1. It debuted at number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 157,000 copies. In doing so, it broke the record for the highest-debut for a full-length Spanish-language album in the country, an honor which it currently holds. Its lead single "La Tortura" peaked at number 23 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and with sales exceeding five million copies, is one of the best-selling singles of all time.
That November, Shakira released her seventh record, the English-language Oral Fixation, Vol. 2. It peaked at number five on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 128,000 copies. Its lead single "Don't Bother" reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100. In early 2006, her label Epic Records asked Wyclef Jean to remake his song with Shakira, attempting to revive sales of the album. Consequentially, Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 was reissued with "Hips Don't Lie" that March. It jumped 92 positions on the Billboard 200 and enjoyed a one-week sales increase of 643%. As of November 2007, the album has sold nearly two million copies in the country, over half of which are the reissue.
"Hips Don't Lie" debuted on the Los Angeles-based radio station KIIS-FM (on the Ryan Seacrest Morning Show) on February 14, 2006. Shakira and Wyclef Jean performed the song on the following TV shows: American Idol, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Live With Regis and Kelly, The Today Show, Total Request Live, and the 2007 Grammy Awards. The song can be heard in the EA Sports video game MVP 06 NCAA Baseball, the films Ice Age: The Meltdown and 27 Dresses as well as the season one finale of Silicon Valley.
The trumpets in the record are sampled from the song "Amores Como el Nuestro" which was written by Omar Alfanno and performed by Jerry Rivera for his album Cuenta Conmigo (1992). The use of the opening trumpets caused a small controversy, when Rivera openly accused Shakira of plagiarizing the opening trumpets without his knowing, unaware that rights had already been obtained from his former label Sony Discos.
Less than two weeks after its debut on KIIS, Z100 added the track, and less than a week after it was added to the playlist, it was the most requested song on the station as it hit #1 on the "Interactive 9@9". It stayed on top for about a month. In December 2006 it was announced that "Hips Don't Lie" was the #1 song of the year, a first for both Shakira and Wyclef Jean.
A Spanish version, titled "Será, Será (Las Caderas No Mienten)", was also released. Shakira also sang another version (produced by RedOne) called "Hips Don't Lie/Bamboo" at the closing ceremony of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Berlin, Germany.
The music video was directed by British director Sophie Muller and filmed in Los Angeles, California, United States. The video begins with Shakira against a black background dancing while Wyclef and a couple other men are watching her. When Wyclef raps his first rap verse, it shows him following Shakira with pink curtains everywhere. It also shows them on the street along with different people. When the second verse begins, she is seen sitting in a chair while singing. It then cuts to an arena-like environment, where Shakira is dancing with other people. It ends with Shakira against the black background. The majority of the costumes and outfits featured in the video belong to the Carnaval de Barranquilla, some of which include the white dress Shakira dances in, and the colorful flags. Shakira was given dancing lessons for the performance of the song at the MTV Awards by the Indian choreographer Farah Khan.
"Hips Don't Lie" proved successful on LAUNCHcast's top-hundred most-watched videos of the week, where it spent four months at number one. Yahoo! had fans submit videos of themselves dancing to the song, which were edited into a "fans only" version, which has also proved to be one of the most popular videos on LAUNCH. The video for "Hips Don't Lie" ran in the number-one spot on iTunes (along with the single) for several weeks. It was the most-watched video of 2006, and has drawn 156 million views on YouTube. The video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography on August 31, 2006 and the MTV Latin Award for Song Of The Year on October 19, 2006. The video also placed at number two on VH1's "Top 40 Videos of 2006".
