- Actor-Inspired Element: Some of the lyrics came from Shakira's own attitude towards whether a song is releasable - by how much it motivates her to dance. She would tell her musicians:"My hips don't lie! Are they moving? They're not moving! So this is not ready."
- Breakthrough Hit: While Pies Descalzos may have launched Shakira, this is arguably the most famous of her hits to date, and gained her a previously unfamiliar new audience.
- What Could Have Been:
- One of the initial titles for the song was "Lips Don't Lie", back when Wycleaf Jean was first coming up with it. The "Lips Don't Lie" version was said to be pitched to the rest of The Fugees as a track for a would-be reunion album at some point.
- Another story says that Wycleaf Jean was first asked to record a remix of Shakira's "La Tortura".
