Prior to collaborating on "La Bicicleta",Carlos Vives wanted to collaborate musically with Shakira for a long time. The song came about after Vives presented material for his upcoming album Vives to his record label Sony Music Latin,which was interested in partnering him with Shakira. [1] He also sent his work to Shakira,including the song which was titled "Vallenato Desesperado" at the time. [2] That was when Shakira had the first opportunity to listen to the song;she instantly liked it and accepted the offer of collaborating with Vives. Shakira added several lines to the song,which was produced by Andrés Castro,a long-time collaborator of Vives. [2] [3] [4] She was the one who proposed that it be named "La Bicicleta" due to the numerous times the word was mentioned throughout. [2]
The track marks Shakira's first collaboration with a fellow Colombian singer. [5] During an interview,Vives revealed,"I've always dreamt of writing,producing and recording a song with Shakira so that together we can show our Colombia to the world. She has taken our country's music to unimaginable heights,and finally being able to collaborate with her is a realization of this dream." [5] Shakira also said that the song was representative of both artists. [5] On 21 May 2016,she sat for a press release in Barranquilla,where she talked about the experience of collaborating with Vives on the song,which she described as a "tribute to Colombia in many ways". [6] Shakira posted a snippet of "La Bicicleta" along with its cover art on 24 May 2016,revealing that the song will premiere on 27 May.

[15] [16] [17] Vives,during his solo part sings about Shakira's most famous traits. [18] Willy Varela Pupo of El Heraldo found similarities between "La Bicicleta" and Shakira's own collaboration with Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz,"La Tortura" (2005),due to the similar blend of Colombian and urban rhythms. [18]

[5] Natalie Roterman from the Latin Times also called it "catchy and joyful". [19] Ana Marcos of El País called "La Bicicleta" a candidate for song of the summer. She noted how it managed to return Colombian music to the forefront of the Latin genre,following the structural formula of songs by other contemporary Latin artists. [10] Javier Soto of Univision noted how the opening lines,"Nada voy a hacer,rebuscando en las heridas del pasado",were sung with a lot of passion by Vives,and added that later on,the song managed to "perfectly combine" the elements of vallenato and reggaeton. [20] A writer of El Tiempo opined that "La Bicicleta" showcased Vives's characteristic sound - a mixture of national Colombian music with urban beats. [15] A Clarín writer felt that the name-dropping of Piquéwas a promotional strategy to increase the song's sales. [21]
Eliana Lopez from Variety Latino acknowledged how "La Bicicleta" was representative of both artists' styles and a fusion of musical styles combined "to perfection".
