"Hips Don't Lie" was initially written and recorded by Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill and Pras for the Fugees reunion. The song was titled "Lips Don't Lie" at that point, but was never completed due to the Hill's dissatisfaction with it. Charlie Walk, who at the time was the President of Epic Records, called Pras to state he wanted to do a remix of the song with Shakira. The result is a furious salsa and worldbeat song and was released on February 10, 2006. It heavily incorporates samples from Wyclef Jean's earlier single "Dance Like This" and "Amores Como El Nuestro" written by Omar Alfanno. The rousing video clip, directed by Sophie Muller was filmed in Los Angeles. "Hips Don't Lie" was the most successful single of the year 2006 globally and went to the top positions in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, New Zealand, and Ireland.
