"Don't Wait Up" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. It was released on July 16, 2021 through Spanish-language music label Sony Music Latin. The song marked Shakira's first all-English single since 2016's "Try Everything" and her first English-language single to not be released by a major general-market label.[5]

Background and release

[edit]

Shakira initially announced that a single accompanied with a video would be released in July 2021, in the cover story of the July edition of Vogue Mexico.[6] The singer first teased the single on 12 July, on her social media by changing her profile pictures to a summery color palette, the change resulted in the hashtag "Shakira is coming" to trend worldwide on Twitter.[7] Upon the announcement along with the hashtag Shakira's name immediately started trending on Twitter's worldwide trends.[8] On 13 July, the artist shared a 30-second video of what could potentially be the name and part of the lyrics of her future track.[9] Later the same day Shakira revealed the cover artwork and its title.

Reception

[edit]

Laura English from Music Feeds encapsulated "Don't Wait Up" as "a club-ready banger with a classic EDM beat", calling the phrase "don't wait up" a "classic party line", and described how the song "starts as a slow burn featuring just Shakira’s iconic vocals" before "[building] into a modern-era Shakira bop once the chorus comes in though and the beat is delectable".[10] Scott Croker from Idolator characterized how the song "starts slow being quickly speeding up and introducing listeners to an incredibly infectious and catchy chorus".[4] The song was voted the favorite new music release of the week on a poll by Billboard.[11]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for the song was released on 16 July 2021. Directed by Warren Fu, it was filmed on the Spanish island of Tenerife in June 2021.[12] Its cinematography was handled by Carlos Veron.[13] In the video, Shakira showcases her surfing skills and dance moves on the beach, with a choreography and style that hark back to her rise to fame in the late 90s.[14]
