"How Do You Do" is a controversial song found on Oral Fixation Vol. 2 (2005), the second English language album released by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. This song was released on September 2005 (along with "Don't Bother") by Sony as a promo single to PromoSquad.

[edit] Controversy

The altered version of the album cover of Oral Fixation Vol. 2. Note that the track "How Do You Do" has been removed.

"How Do You Do" caused some controversy in Muslim nations, because it might offend people for its content, which some feel questions the existence and the attitudes of a God. Because of that, the song was banned from the album in its release on the Middle East (except in Lebanon, the country in which the singer's father descends from). The album cover was also altered in several of these countries; in the album available at these regions, Shakira appears behind a bush, covering from her breast to below, instead of covering her breast and showing her belly, as is on the original cover.
