"Día de Enero" (Spanish for Day of January) is the third single released from Shakira's 2005 album Fijación Oral 1, following "La Tortura" and "No".
[edit] Song information
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 and Jeff" known in Spanish as "Eneas and Benitín."
[edit] Music video
The music video for the song shows Shakira walking through a beach barefoot, during the sunset. She also draws a heart in the sand with the letters "S y A" symbolising her love for her fiance, Antonio de la Rúa. It was directed by "No" and "Don't Bother" director, Jaume de Laiguana. This video can be seen on Oral Fixation Volumes 1 & 2 Bonus DVD, and the Spanish edition of Oral Fixation Tour.
[edit] Chart performance
The song peaked within the Top 40 in the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart and also made it to number one on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart (which is equivalent to #101). 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.
