Día de Enero

"Día de Enero" (Spanish for January Day) is the third single released from Shakira's 2005 album Fijación Oral 1, following "La Tortura" and "No".

Background and composition

Written and composed by Shakira herself, "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."
