1 – for which Sony likely had lower expectations given the album's late-spring release and non-English content – actually sold better than Vol. (As part of a small trend in 2005, Shakira joined Sony label mates System of a Down in releasing two back-to-back albums of new material in a single calendar year.) Ironically, in the crucial U.S. 2 was Shakira's second album of the year, directly following the Spanish-language Fijación Oral Vol. 2, which had come out in late 2005 in time for the lucrative Christmas-buying season. "Hips Don't Lie" was reportedly commissioned by Sony Music to revive sales of Shakira's flagging album Oral Fixation Vol.
The song became one of the best-selling singles worldwide of all-time, selling 16 million copies, and it also became the novena song with the most paid downloads in history. It won a People's Choice Award and an MTV Latin America Video Music Award, as well as an MTV Video Music Award for the music video's choreography. It was Shakira's first number-one single in the US and the UK, as well as Jean's first number-one single in the US and his third in the UK. "Hips Don't Lie" became a global success, reaching the number one spot on the charts in at least 25 countries, including the United States, where it broke the record for the most radio plays in a single week. A spanish version of the track, entitled " Será, Será (Las Caderas No Mienten)", was also released. In addition to co-producing the song, Shakira also wrote new material not present in Jean's original version.
The song is a reworked version of Jean's 2004 song "Dance Like This" and takes some of its instrumentation from Jerry Rivera's "Amores Como El Nuestro" and lyrics from Dominican composer Luis Dias' "Carnaval (Baila en la Calle)". " Hips Don't Lie" is a song based in a salsa and cumbia performed by colombian singer Shakira and haitian rapper Wyclef Jean, released in 2005 as the second single from Shakira's second english album Oral Fixation Vol.
