Shakira's Dreamy Revelation: How 'Hips Don't Lie' Almost Never Happened

Shakira's 'Hips Don't Lie' Almost Didn't Exist: A Dream, a Call, and a Global Hit Shakira recently revealed a surprising story behind her iconic song, "Hips Don't Lie." During a chat with Jimmy Fallon on "The Tonight Show," she explained that the collaboration with Wyclef Jean almost didn't happen. The album was already released, and the song was an unexpected addition. "The album was already distributed," Shakira recalled. "The funniest thing is that I had this random dream about Wyclef." This dream, she says, led to a call from her manager about the collaboration. The resulting song, of course, became a massive global hit. Shakira's story highlights the unpredictable nature of success and the power of chance encounters, even those inspired by dreams.
