Upon its release, "Whenever, Wherever" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented its production. The song became her breakthrough hit in the United States, peaking at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. In doing so, it became her most successful single in the country, though it was eventually surpassed after "Hips Don't Lie" peaked at number one on the chart in 2006. The selection, additionally, topped charts in 29 countries, including her native Colombia and the majority of Latin America, Europe, The Middle East and Oceania. [2] It is recognized as one of Shakira's signature songs, and was one of the most successful songs in the world in 2002. It is certified platinum or higher in seventeen countries including diamond in France.

Background and release

After the 1998 release of her second major album, ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones? , achieved major success, Shakira released her first live album, MTV Unplugged: Shakira , in 2000. However, Shakira wanted a breakthrough in America and around the world with songs in English. [3] Shakira explained:

Before assuming this big challenge of writing for the first time in English and making my first English album and presenting it to the world... of course I was feeling ready for it, a little bit scared... actually a lot scared. But I knew I could do it and my instincts always told me to go ahead and jump in the water. [4]

Then, "Whenever, Wherever" was released as her debut English single on 27 September 2001. [5] At the same time, she also released the selection's Spanish version, titled "Suerte", meaning "Luck", for Spanish markets. [5]

Composition

The lyrics of the song were initially conceived in Spanish and were written by Shakira on her own. Later on, additional co-writing credits by Cuban-born American singer Gloria Estefan were added for the English-language version. The song was arranged and produced by Shakira and Tim Mitchell. [6] Sonically, the song is a mix of Latin music and worldbeat, [7] with distinctive Latin instruments like the charango and the quena. [4] "Whenever, Wherever" is composed in the key of C♯ minor. [8] The song is heavily influenced by Andean music, and includes the charango and panpipes in its instrumentation. [9]

Lyrically, "Whenever, Wherever" talks about fate and how it has played a major role in Shakira's romance. [10] It starts with a guitar, similar to the 4-note riff from Pink Floyd's "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond," [11] leading, beginning with baritone-range panpipes, to the explosive melody. Then, Shakira talks about how she would follow her boyfriend to the top of the highest mountain, risking life and limb to be intimate with him. [10] In the chorus, she sings, "Whenever, wherever/We're meant to be together/I'll be there and you'll be near/And that's the deal my dear." [10]

In the Spanish version, "Suerte", Shakira sings about how lucky she is to be who she is and where she is to have met this person. She calls him "my life" and says she wants to spend the rest of her days with him. Similar to the English version, she will climb mountains and she talks about her physical appearance with figurative language.

Critical reception

"Whenever, Wherever" received mainly positive reviews from music critics. Alex Henderson of AllMusic picked the song as a highlight, writing that it's "infectious" and "it's to Shakira what 'Livin' la Vida Loca' was to Ricky Martin: the major hit that brought her to English-speaking audiences in a big way." [12] Lisa Oliver of Yahoo! Music called it "the top track from the album by miles," writing that, "Despite such bemusement-inducing lyrics as 'lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains,' it still manages to make you sit up and fancy the synthetic-fiber trousers off her." [13] The phrase was praised by The Guardian's Alexis Petridis, who called it "the most thought-provoking line of recent memory". [11] The website Bland Is Out There also enjoyed the phrase, writing that "it's the most clever, self-confident couplet to hit radio in the long time." [10] The review also wrote that the Spanish version, "Suerte", was far superior, explaining, "In English, Shakira's vocals are breathy and nasal. But in her native tongue, she's commanding and willowy." [10] For David Browne of Entertainment Weekly, the song has a "shameless Latin-pop hook". [14]

In 2020, Billboard included Whenever, Wherever among the 50 best Latin songs of all time, stating that "with its touches of South American folklore married to a rousing, unforgettable chorus and a danceable beat, "Whenever, Wherever" is still an anthem for love that knows no boundaries." [15]

Music video

The music video was directed by Francis Lawrence. Its cinematography was handled by Pascal Lebègue. [33] A blue screen was used, and features Shakira surrounded by Earth's natural wonders. It begins with her submerged in the ocean, the only part of the video that is not shot on a blue screen; the underwater part is real as her hair is flowing freely and she is blowing soft bubbles from her nose and mouth. She leaps out of the water onto the surrounding rocks and observing a landscape of mountains; a falcon flies down towards her.

Shakira then proceeds to walk barefoot into the desert while belly-dancing, where she is soon seen dancing amid a stampede of horses. The stampede suddenly stops, and she kneels into a shallow pool of mud, and begins crawling through it. As the video nears its conclusion, she is on top of a snowy mountain before jumping off, descending into water and submerging herself once more, as the video comes full circle. The video was shot twice, the other version being for "Suerte"/"Luck", with Lawrence directing both versions.

The video became an instant hit on several music programs. It became Shakira's first video to retire on MTV's TRL , and in Canada, reached number one for a single week on the MuchMusic program Countdown . It won the 2002 Latin Grammy Award for "Best Short Form Music Video". There are 2 remix videos using the "Tracy Young Spin Cycle Mix" and the "Tracy Young Tribal Mix".

In 2018, Billboard included "Whenever, Wherever" among the 100 greatest music videos of the 21st century, stating that it "introduced Shakira's swiveling hips to the world", and that its "minimalist production, which memorably featured Shakira dancing alone without props, musicians or other dancers, was enough to catapult her to international stardom." [34]

Other versions and live performances

Shakira recorded a studio recording of the live version of "Whenever, Wherever", which was used for television performances, for both the English and Spanish versions of the song. It was called the "TV Edit". She sang the original CD version only once, on the 2001 Radio Music Awards, where she performed the song live for the first time. A remix of the song was included on the re-release of Laundry Service, Laundry Service: Washed & Dried . This was titled the "Sahara Mix", and was completely transformed from the original version, instead being given a heavy Middle Eastern feel. For her world tour, the Tour of the Mongoose, Shakira took the drums that begin the "Sahara Mix" and incorporated them into an intro for the original version of "Whenever, Wherever/Suerte", which extended the amount of time Shakira had to interact with the audience. She also included the same intro for "Whenever, Wherever/Suerte" for her second world tour, the Oral Fixation Tour. However, for this tour, she danced to the drums with a rope, as opposed to dancing with a candelabra on her head as she did during the Tour of the Mongoose. To promote the DVD Live & Off the Record , Shakira used the song as a second single, editing the original live version to a radio edit version and video edit version, which was included in the "Poem to a Horse" promo. During The Sun Comes Out World Tour , Shakira gave the song a more rock-oriented sound, mixed it with a cover of the English band EMF's "Unbelievable", and brought select men and women from the audience on stage for a short dance lesson.

The song was performed by Shakira during the Super Bowl LIV halftime show. [35] [36] Following that performance, the song went number one on the iTunes singles chart.

The Spanish-language version features Dominican rapper El Cata, and was released on 10 September 2010, while the English-language version features British rapper Dizzee Rascal, and was released on 13 September 2010. It was written and produced by Shakira, with additional songwriting from Edward Bello, Armando Pérez, and Dylan Mills. The song is a Latin pop and merengue track that lyrically describes Shakira's eccentric infatuation with a man. In August 2014, a senior US district judge found "Loca" to have been indirectly plagiarised from "Loca con su Tiguere", a mid-1990s song composed by Dominican songwriter Ramon "Arias" Vasquez. The case was dismissed in August 2015 after it was found that Vasquez had fabricated the evidence he had presented in court.
