“Hips Don’t Lie” – Shakira feat. Wyclef Jean

With “Hips Don’t Lie” we did a song for a movie with Claudette Ortiz from the group City High. I think the name of it was “Dance Like This.” We had a meeting with Shakira’s people and they loved the record. We ended up putting Shakira on the record, but we added some reggaeton and Latin flavor to it. At that time reggaeton was really taking off. That song went on to be one of the biggest digital records ever. That song was global. It hit everywhere. Shakira really took that song to another level.
