Underneath Your Clothes

"Underneath Your Clothes" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira from her third studio album, Laundry Service (2001). Released on 11 February 2002, it was the second English-language single from the album. Shakira wrote the lyrics and co-produced the music with Lester Mendez. The power ballad describes a woman's unconditional love for her boyfriend.

While some critics praised the song as a highlight of the album, others criticized the songwriting and production, comparing it to the Bangles' "Eternal Flame" and the Beatles' "Penny Lane." Despite mixed reviews, the song topped charts in eight countries and reached the top ten in several others, including the United States. It was the fifth-biggest song in Europe in 2002.

American photographer Herb Ritts directed the music video for "Underneath Your Clothes", his last music video directorial effort before his death in December 2002. It starts with a black-and-white scene of a reporter asking Shakira how she feels about crossing over into the English-speaking music market, and the singer, ironically, answers him in Spanish. Shakira claimed in her "MTV Making the Video" of the song that the "Crossover" claims had been her daily bread, and that she heavily at wished for this to be included into the video. The video illustrates her loneliness as a music artist when she goes on tour. Then, scenes of the singer performing the song live with her band and passionately hugging her boyfriend (played by her real-life then boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa) are shown.
