Review

This Spanglish Regeton song by Shakira is about a girl who knows what she's got. She repeats throughout the song that she is very passionate about her man. She even says that despite not having many material possessions, her man wants her rather than any other woman.

There is a mention of contraceptive methods.

It is a song that will surely make you want to dance. 

I recommend it to advanced Spanish speakers due to the song's speed and many expressions that almost make no sense and are too difficult to understand.

In the video, we watch Shakira on the beach, singing and surrounded by fans.
