Enero
"Día de enero" (English: "Day in January") is a song written and recorded by the Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira. It was released as the third single from her sixth studio album, Fijación Oral Vol. 1, on January 19, 2006, by Epic Records. Written as a love letter to her then partner Antonio de la Rúa, the son of former president of Argentina, Fernando de la Rúa, the lyrics reference the controversy surrounding their relationship due to the Argentina's 2001 crisis during De la Rúa's presidency.
The love song was praised by music critics, who commended the song for its clever lyrics and sweetness, comparing her work to those of Alanis Morissette and Natalia Lafourcade. It became a success in Argentina, while also being a radio hit in the United States' Latin Pop Airplay chart, becoming her 20th top-ten hit. The music video for the song was directed by Shakira's longtime collaborator, Jaume de Laiguana, and it was shot in California, United States, portraiting a day in her life.
