"Underneath Your Clothes"
Song
B-side"Remix"

"Underneath Your Clothes" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira - the second English language single released from Laundry Service (2001). To date, "Underneath Your Clothes" is Shakira's third most successful single worldwide, behind only "Whenever, Wherever" (2001) and "Hips Don't Lie" (2006).

Lyrics

"Underneath Your Clothes" is a love song with lyrics by Shakira and music by her and Lester Mendez. It tells the story of the unconditional love that a woman has for her boyfriend, which is referenced in the lyrics.

The song is clearly heavily influenced by the 80s hit "Eternal Flame" by The Bangles, written by songwriters Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly.

"Underneath Your Clothes" is listed on #391 on Blender's "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born" list.[1]

Music video

The music video for "Underneath Your Clothes" was directed by American photographer Herb Ritts and it was the second to last he directed before his death. It starts with a black-and-white scene of a reporter asking Shakira how she feels about crossing over into the English-speaking music market, and the singer, ironically, answers him in Spanish. Shakira claimed in her "MTV Making the Video" of the song that the "Crossover" claims had been her daily bread, and that she heavily wished for this to be included into the video. The video illustrates her loneliness as a music artist when she goes on tour. Then, scenes of the singer performing the song live with her band and passionately hugging her boyfriend (played by her real-life fiancé Antonio de la Rúa) are shown.

"Underneath Your Clothes" was the second video by Shakira to retire on MTV's TRL on May 14, 2002, when it was at #3 on the countdown.

Live performances

  • Shakira performed the song live at the concerts for her Oral Fixation Tour (2006–2007), however the song was not in the set-list of the Spanish and Latin American concerts.
  • Shakira presented a piano mix of the song at the "Ein Herz für Kinder" and "Clinton Global Initiative", with only vocals and piano, and excluded the complete second half to the song.
