"Illegal" is a ballad with lyrics revolving around mourning for the loss of a lover, as seen in the lines, "It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart". [1] It contains elements of pop and country music. [2] [3] Spence D. of the website IGN felt that Shakira adopted an "almost modern day country-styled pop aesthetic". Throughout the song, her vocals are subdued, complete with "rolling delivering, breathy accentuations, and... trill". [4] AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that the lyrics "You said you would love me until you died/And as far as I know you're still alive" were similar to Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" (1995). [3]

"Illegal" was written and produced by Shakira and Lester Mendez, with all additional production handled by Jose "Gacho" Torres. Mexican guitarist Carlos Santana appears as a featured artist on the song, playing an electrical guitar throughout. [5] The guitar was also played by Lyle Workman. The other instruments featured in the song are keyboards played by Lester Mendez, bass by Paul Bushnell, drums by Shawn Pelton and percussion by Luis Contez. The mixing was done by Rob Jacobs while the audio engineering was finished by Kevin Killen, Serge "Sergical" Tsai and Vlado Meller, who mastered the song with the assistance of Mark Santangelo. [5]

Release

"Illegal" was released as a CD single on 6 November 2006. [6] An EP of the song featuring two versions of the song and "La Tortura" was available for digital download on 9 December 2006. [7] A second, enhanced CD single featuring two versions of the song along with "La Tortura" and its music video was released on 18 December 2006. [8]

Critical reception

The song has received polarized reviews from music critics. A writer of Billboard was very positive towards the song, calling it "gorgeous" and Shakira's "most understated performance to date". [1] He further praised Santana's quiet guitar contribution, comparing it to "tears accompanying the loss". [1] The critic finished his review by concluding that time would be needed for channels streaming the song to propel it to the top 40 of the charts, "but this forlorn masterpiece is as instantly reactive on the slow side as 'Whenever, Wherever' was on the fast". [1] In a review of Oral Fixation, Vol. 2, Thomas Erlewine said that Shakira takes her music into unexpected directions with "Illegal". [3] Matt Cibula, in a review for PopMatters , found country music elements on the song, adding that its chorus could easily make it a CMT number-one single. [9] A Dotmusic journalist praised the singer's vocal performance in the song as a proof that she "certainly has a sweet croon". [2] Spence D. of IGN also praised her vocals in the quiet song and complimented Santana's performance for bringing "nice ambiance". [4] Entertainment Weekly 's David Browne gave a more mixed review, opining that "'Don't Bother' and 'Illegal' are sister-of-Alanis catfights we've heard before". [10] Barry Walters from Rolling Stone said that Santana's contribution in the song was "instantly recognizable and somewhat disruptive". [11] Similarly, Lauren Murphy from entertainment.ie felt that his "conscription" and riff contribution to the song was "somewhat lackluster". [12] A writer of E! Online dubbed "Illegal" a "total buzzkill". [13]

Robert Copsey of the website Digital Spy placed the song seventh on his list of Shakira's ten best songs, published in 2014 writing that "it hasn't aged a day". [14] The same year, Emily Exton of VH1 placed the track on her list of Shakira's best duets, summarizing "The pained musings of a woman scorned, punctuated by the legend’s iconic guitar groove". [15] A writer of the website Telemundo included "Illegal" on his list of Shakira's best musical collaborations in 2015. [16]

Billboard included "Illegal" among Santana's 10 'timeless' collaborations. [17]

Chart performance

In the United States, "Illegal" managed to top the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart for the week of 10 February 2007.

Music video

The music video for "Illegal" was shot in Mexico City on 17 October 2006, during a short break in the schedule of the Oral Fixation Tour, between concerts in Mexico and Guatemala. [30] Jaume de Laiguana and Shakira were the co-directors of the video. [30] [31] The filming took a full day, and some American and Mexican fans were invited over as extras. [30] It officially premiered on 16 November 2006 on MTV's Total Request Live (TRL). [32] The video features Shakira as the girlfriend of a boxer. Throughout most of the video, she is shown in the empty boxing venue where her former boyfriend boxes. Through flashbacks, she remembers the good times in their relationship – including being alone in the ring, affectionately treating each other. At the end of the video, the reason behind their break-up is shown. [33] Shakira comes to see her boyfriend boxing in the championship match where he wins, unaware that Shakira is there watching him. Another girl steps in the ring and kisses the boxer, revealing to Shakira he is cheating on her. Her boyfriend, to his shock, finally sees that Shakira is watching him kiss the other girl. The video ends with her looking back at him, clearly hurt, before turning away and leaving. [33]
