Shakira: 'Did It Again'

Released on Monday, Dec 14 2009

Shakira's always been sexy, but lately we're starting to wonder if she's taking something blue and diamond-shaped with her morning cup of Colombian Java. First there was 'She Wolf' and that video; now comes 'Did It Again', a track with a fruity promo clip - she literally pounces on her prey, several times over - and equally fruity subject matter. A handy précis: Shakira cops off with a stranger, follows him back to his hotel room for a bit of slap 'n' tickle, and then twigs that - oh crap! - he's married.

"I did it again, I got it all wrong, but it felt so right," our libidinous heroine sings - before admitting that she went back for more the next night. The Neptunes, meanwhile, lay down a taut, contemporary production comprising marching band beats, bouncy synths and an infectious "ey-ey-ey" hook. The result? Quality dance-pop from an artist currently oozing... hold on, don't let your mind run away from you... confidence.

Fantastic song. Wasn't too crazy about first time round, but the catchy tune and Shakira's husky voice won me over.

Have to agree with all the comments. First time I heard it. I didn't like it but after listening to it for a few times. I love it. Did It Again and She Wolf are songs that are so original and there are no songs you can compare it to, currently in the charts. That's what makes Shakira currently the best pop star in the world. She never copies anyone or samples anything, and you know she works incredibly hard and she can sing.

An amazing, addictive song. It's better than She Wolf and deserves a higher spot in the charts than that!

I love the beat of the song. The vocals are OK but the video is boring but sexy. Overall, it's great track but not as good or as haunting as She Wolf. Love you Shaki.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head for weeks! I absolutely love it! I didn't like it either when I first heard it but it is a grower! I wasn't a massive fan of She Wolf so I'm glad she released this as a second single! Also hope 'Spy' is released next!

this is awesome, better than She Wolf. great choice of single from a brilliant album, really gets me tapping along. she's gonna own that x factor stage on sunday. i agree with Ols - Men In This Town should be the third single.

Ols, on November 12th, 2009
Great song, even better video - looking forward to her performance on X-Factor this weekend. Hopefully Men In This Town will be the third single though - it's the one I always go back to on the album. Barmy lyrics, but a great tune!
