Background and composition

"Gypsy" was released as the fourth and final single from Shakira's eighth studio album, She Wolf (2009). [4] "Gypsy" was written by Amanda Ghost with additional composition by Shakira, Ian Dench, Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, and produced by Shakira, Ghost, Lukas Burton and Future Cut. [5] [6] [7] [8] Written in a ballad-like form, [3] the lyrics of the song describe life travelling on the road as a "gypsy". Shakira explained the song, saying "(The song represents my) way of living and seeing life. I've been on the road since I was very young so that's where the gypsy metaphor comes from." [2] [9] Musically, "Gypsy" is heavily influenced by Indian bhangra music, and features instrumentation from the mandolin, banjo, sitar and tabla. [1] According to the music sheet published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Gypsy" is a midtempo song written in the key of D flat major, [10] with a metronome of 100 beats per minute. [11] Shakira's vocal range on the song spans from A3 to C5. [11]

The original English version of the song was released worldwide on 26 March 2010. [12] In the United States, it was released as a CD single on 12 April 2010.

Critical response

"Gypsy" received generally positive reviews from music critics. While reviewing the album, Ayala Ben-Yehuda from Billboard singled out the song as an album highlight and called it "the closest thing to an acoustic song on the album". [1] Fraser McAlpine from the BBC Chart Blog also reviewed the song positively and praised its versatility, claiming it manages to be both "conservative acoustic music" and "radical exotic world music" at the same time. [16] Robert Copsey from Digital Spy appreciated the acoustic-instrumentation of "Gypsy", noting it to be "by far the most organic-sounding offering from her She Wolf LP", but he also felt that the song is not "as instantly infectious as some of her classic singles". [13] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic felt the song was representative of the entire album, picking it as an album highlight. [17] Evan Sawdey from PopMatters, however, disliked the concept of the "Gypsy", saying the "metaphors don't work very well" on the song. [18]

The song was nominated for "Top Latin Song" at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. [19] Two other songs by Shakira, "Loca" and "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)", were also nominated, and the award was won by the latter song.

[37] [38] [39] The video stars Spanish professional tennis player Rafael Nadal, who portrays Shakira's love interest in the video. [39] When asked about the reason for starring Nadal in the video, Shakira said she "thought that maybe I needed someone I could in some way identify with. And Rafael Nadal is a person who has been totally committed to his career since he was very young, since he was 17, I believe." [40] The music videos for "Gypsy" and the Spanish-language version "Gitana" were released on 27 February 2010.

[48] Jocelyn Vena from MTV praised the video for its "organic vibe" and commented that "while she (Shakira) claims that she's willing to wear her lover's clothes if they fit, she looks much hotter in the sheer black halter top and long black skirt that she sports at one point in the clip".
