Review

This song is about a girl who is speechless in front of the boy she likes. She also says she doesn't hear, say or think about anything else but him. She has tried to forget this guy but has not been able. She wishes she could forget him and escape from this situation. 

It is a sad story with a good rhythm.

It is fun to watch in the official video. At the beginning of it, we watch an actress singing the song as we see Shakira in the back playing the Hula hoop; suddenly, the police arrive on the scene, arresting everybody. Shakira goes into the police car with an arrested guy whom she likes. They arrive at the Police Station and get fingerprinted. The guy wears a costume of a guard and liberates her. The authorities start to look for them. Police finally found a party where both were, but they were able to escape. At this end, we discover these policemen were robots as they die, electrocuted, watching all Shakira has gone through since they caught her. 

We watch Shakira and an actor as a couple. 

Like most songs of Shakira, this one is for Advanced Spanish students due to its speed.
