The story behind
Obtener un sí, according to DoReSol
The song Obtener un sí by Shakira stands out for its homage to bossa nova, a Brazilian musical style that flourished in the late 1950s. Its smooth and melodic sound invites listeners to immerse themselves in a romantic and nostalgic atmosphere, making it unique within her repertoire.
Although it was not officially released as a single, it managed to position itself on Colombian charts and the U.S. Billboard Hot Latin Tracks, reaching positions #69 and #48, respectively. In Brazil, it was used as the theme for the soap opera "Páginas da vida," giving it an additional boost and becoming a sought-after item on platforms like eBay.
The album Fijación oral vol. 1, which includes this song, was released in June 2005 and represents a return to her Spanish-language roots following the success of Laundry Service in 2001. Shakira worked on the production alongside renowned collaborators such as Gustavo Cerati and Lester Méndez, which brought a rich diversity of sounds. The mixing was handled by Mauricio Guerrero, and the production was characterized by the fusion of Latin pop with other genres, creating a fresh and contemporary environment. The song lasts 3:21, allowing listeners to enjoy its melody without losing the rhythm. This album not only solidified Shakira as a prominent figure in Latin music but also delved into a sonic universe that reflects her artistic evolution.
