On the Spanish-language title track from Shakira's ninth studio album, the Colombian songstress encourages us to forge through tough times with an optimistic spirit.
She chose the album title "Sale El Sol" ("The Sun Comes Out") after a new year brought brightness to some dark times in her personal life. "I started finding new answers on the road and I understand a little bit better what my purpose is as an artist, as a woman. I feel a bit more free and liberated from so many things that hold us back sometimes," she explained. "There's some kind of evolution that's in me that has allowed me to see the world with a more optimistic vision. All these feelings had a way to express themselves through these songs… You go through difficult moments, everybody does, and I've gone through difficult moments myself. But there's always the sun that's inside of us that never extinguishes - I call it 'the sun within.'"
This peaked at #10 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. It was also a #1 hit in Mexico and #8 in Spain.
