The music video was directed by British director Sophie Muller and filmed in Los Angeles. The video begins with Shakira against a black background dancing while Wyclef and a couple of 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. "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. As of 27 July 2022, it has received over 1.1 billion views on YouTube.[29] The video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography on 31 August 2006, and the MTV Latin Award for Song of the Year on 19 October 2006. The video also placed at number two on VH1's "Top 40 Videos of 2006".
The title "Hips Don't Lie" comes from Shakira's in-studio mantra about how her band members need to watch her hips to determine where a song they're working on needs to go - if they're not moving, something is wrong. "I would tell them, 'Listen, hips don't lie. If they're not moving, this isn't working. If they shake, we're in good shape.'" Shakira then took her private joke with the band and put it in the context of the song, which is about "A woman dancing, her seductive powers through dance." >> Wyclef Jean does the rap. This is based on his song "Dance Like This," which he recorded with Claudette Ortiz for the Dirty Dancing (Havana Nights) soundtrack in 2004. Jean explained to Live Daily why he remade it with Shakira: "God works in mysterious ways. I had to do a record for Shakira. They wanted me to remix 'La Tortura.' I was like, 'No. I have this record that I really think if Shakira comes in with me and we redo it, I really think it'll work.' I think it just missed in 2004 because it wasn't promoted right and probably the right artist wasn't on the record. I guess my instincts were right." The intro comes from the song "Amores Como El Nuestro" by Jerry Rivera. The trumpet flourish was taken from the song "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)" by Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz. A "Fan-Only" version of the video was made, consisting of amateur footage of various fans dancing and singing to the song. The costumes and characters in the video were inspired by the Barranquilla Carnival, a major celebration in Spain. British director Sophie Muller, who helmed the clip, is known for her collaborations with Gwen Stefani, Sarah McLachlan, Annie Lennox, and many others. >> Report this ad Wyclef's line, "Back like when Pac carried crates for Humpty Hump" refers to when Tupac Shakur was starting out his rap career as a member of Digital Underground and was mentored by their leader, Shock G, who was also known as "Humpty Hump." According to Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems, this song was the most-played pop song in a single week in American radio history. It was played 9,637 times in the week ending June 2, 2006, eclipsing the previous record held by Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" of 9,582 plays in a week. This topped the charts in most countries and was the most successful song of 2006 worldwide. The only major nation where the song didn't reach a Top 20 position was in Sweden, where it peaked at #45. This was the top-selling single in the world during the 2000s. Runner up was "Crazy In Love" by Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z, followed by the Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps." This was used on Ugly Betty in the 2006 episode "Queen For A Day," and Silicon Valley in the 2014 episode "Optimal Tip-To-Tip Efficiency." It was also featured in the 2008 romantic comedy 27 Dresses. This earned Shakira and Wyclef Jean a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals in 2007. They lost to Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder for their duet "For Once In My Life." This was Shakira's first #1 hit on the Hot 100. Shakira sang this at halftime of the 2020 Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. Doing away with acts like Maroon 5 and Coldplay, the NFL injected some Latin flavor into the show by having Shakira and Jennifer Lopez to perform.
