“Dare (La La La)” is a music video and song recorded by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira from her tenth studio album Shakira.
The music videos for “Dare (La La La)” and “La La La” (Spanish version) were premiered on May 7, 2014 via Shakira’s VEVO channel on Youtube. A portion of the recording of the chorus part video was leaked in mid-2012, proving the video was recorded before Shakira got pregnant, and a leak of nearly half the song followed.
The song was co-written by Shakira, Jay Singh, Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald, Mathieu Jomphe-Lepine, Max Martin, Henry Walter, Raelene Arreguin and John J. Conte, Jr. whilst the production was handled by Dr. Luke, Shakira, J2, Cirkut and Billboard.
It was released to contemporary hit radio in Italy on March 28, 2014 as the second international single (and third overall) from Shakira.
A customized version of the song titled “La La La (Brasil 2014)” will be used as a secondary theme song for the 2014 World Cup. This makes “Dare (La La La)” Shakira’s second such song to be used in that capacity after having provided the official song of the 2010 tournament, Waka Waka (This Time for Africa).
“Dare (La La La)”, is an uptempo dance track that contains brazilian beats and takes influence from electronica, with a Spanish version of the song also recorded for the album.
Lyrics for Shakira – Dare (La La La)
Hola!
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la laI dare you
(Leggo, leggo, leggo, leggo)All of my life, too late
Till you showed up with perfect timing
Now here we are, you rock it
Our fingers are stuck in the socket
It’s just the nature, a game
Get ready, we’ll do it again
Let’s not recover, time to hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was soberIs it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It’s truth or dare on the dancefloorLa la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Truth or dare on the dancefloor
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
I dare you(Leggo, leggo)
Of all the millions on the planet
You’re the one who’s keeping me on it
You know I like you, ain’t nobody’s business
Your blue Spanish eyes are my witness
It’s just the nature, a game
Get ready, we’ll do it again
Let’s not recover, time to hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was soberIs it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It’s truth or dare on the dancefloorLa la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Truth or dare on the dancefloor
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
I dare youIs it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It’s truth or dare on the dancefloorLa la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
