About Loca

"Loca" (English: "Crazy") is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, taken from her seventh studio album, Sale el Sol (2010). It was released by Epic Records as the lead single from the album. The Spanish-language version features Dominican rapper El Cata, and was released on 10 September 2010, while the English-language version features British rapper Dizzee Rascal, and was released on 13 September 2010. It was written and produced by Shakira, with additional songwriting from Edward Bello, Armando Pérez, and Dylan Mills. The song is a Latin pop and merengue track that lyrically describes Shakira's eccentric infatuation with a man. In August 2014, a senior US district judge found "Loca" to have been indirectly plagiarised from "Loca con su Tiguere", a mid-1990s song composed by Dominican songwriter Ramon "Arias" Vasquez. The case was dismissed in August 2015 after it was found that Vasquez had fabricated the evidence he had presented in court. Upon its release, "Loca" received generally favourable reviews from music critics, who complimented the inclusion of merengue music on the recording. The English version of the song became a worldwide commercial success and peaked inside the top five of the record charts of countries including Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary and Italy. The Spanish version peaked atop the charts of Spain and Switzerland, and became a hit on the Latin record charts in the United States, topping the Billboard Hot Latin Songs, Latin Pop Airplay, and Tropical Songs charts. "Loca" received record certifications in various countries around the world, including a diamond certification in Colombia and multi-platinum certifications in Italy, Mexico, and Spain. The song has sold over 5 million copies worldwide, and is noted to be the best selling merengue song of all time. Its accompanying music video was filmed in Barcelona, Spain in August 2010, and was released the following month. It features Shakira interacting with a beach crowd, and dancing in front of the sea wearing a golden bikini. It generated a favourable response from critics, many of whom praised its concept for matching the vibe of the song. For additional promotion, Shakira performed "Loca" on several television shows and on her The Sun Comes Out World Tour. more »

Loca

She's playin' dumb all the time, just to keep it fun
To get you on like, ah, be careful, amigo
She's talking and walking just to work you up
She'd die for your love, but your love's only mine, boy
Yo sigo tranquila, like I'm on a beach in Anguilla
Sippin' my Corona like it's nothin' goin' on
I ain't leavin' you alone, what is meant for me
No other girl is gonna take it, so give him up

And I'm crazy, but you like it (loca, loca, loca)
You like that it ain't easy (loca, loca, loca)
I'm crazy but you like it (loca, loca, loca)
Crazy but you like it

That girl is a nutter
Hot girl, I heat up when I touch her
Chica caliente
Got me rapping to merengue
I feel so el presidente
I'm runnin' shit and I'm lovin' it
She's got a mean lil bopper
You should see what she does with it
She keeps it down low (down low, down low)
I can never get enough (oh no, oh no)
She gives me the runaround
But I stay chasin'
But I need help, I'm in love with a crazy girl
But it's all good and it's fine by me
Just as long as I hear her say, ay, papi

And I'm crazy, but you like it (loca, loca, loca)
You like that it ain't easy (loca, loca, loca)
I'm crazy but you like it (loca, loca, loca)
And I'm crazy but you like it (loca, loca, loca)

You're the one for me
And for her no more
Though you think she's got it all
I got my kiki

You're the one for me
And for her no more
Though you think she's got it all
I got my kiki

I guess she doesn't know the things that I'd do to please you
I take you to the malecón por el caminito
They saw your girlfriend looking for me with a rifle
'Cause, we're dancin' Mambo, oh, what she don't allow it?

I really can't help it if I make the lady loca
I don't want no trouble, I just wanna hit the ooh
And I'm crazy, but you like it
'Cause the kinda girl like me, they're running out of in the market
(Shh)

And I'm crazy, but you like it
Loca, loca, loca
You like that it ain't easy
Loca, loca, loca
I'm crazy but you like it
Loca, loca, loca
And I'm crazy but you like it

¡Dios mío!
That girl is a (loca)
That girl is a (loca)
That girl is a (loca) it's a madness
Pure madness
Loca
That girl is a (loca)
That girl is a (loca)

You're the one for me
And for her no more
Though you think she got it all
I got my kiki

And I'm crazy, but you like it
Loca, loca, loca
You like that it ain't easy
Loca, loca, loca (loca-ca, loca-ca, loca)
