"Día de Enero" (Spanish for January day) is the third single off Shakira's 2005 album Fijación Oral 1, following of "La Tortura" and "No". Written and composed by the singer, "Día de Enero" is a love song that tells about how she met her boyfriend, Antonio de la Rúa on a January day. The song also makes reference to two famous comics characters "Mutt & Jeff" known in Spanish as "Eneas & Benitín."
[edit] Music video
The video shows Shakira walking through a beach barefoot, during sunset. It was directed by "Don't Bother" director, Jaume de La Iguana.
[edit] Chart performance
The song peaked within the Top 40 in the Hot Latin Tracks and also made it to number one on the Bubbling Under singles chart. The song never made it to the Hot 100, most likely because it was starting to get recognition at the same time as the more popular "Hips Don't Lie". The song fared well elsewhere, especially in South America. This song also has the bad honor of being one of Shakira's lowest major charting on the Hot Latin Charts ever since she started with Donde Estas Corazon?, and behind Te Dejo Madrid.
