Shakira – Don’t Bother
Shakira – Don’t Bother (2005)
Directed by: Jaume de Laiguana
Don’t Bother is a pop-rock track by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, released on October 11, 2005, as the lead single from her seventh studio album, *Oral Fixation, Vol. 2*. The song narrates the emotional turmoil of a woman coping with unrequited love, blending rock influences with Shakira’s distinctive vocal style. The accompanying music video, directed by Jaume de Laiguana, portrays Shakira’s symbolic acts of moving on from a past relationship, including scenes of her destroying a car representing her ex-lover. In 2025, during her “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour,” Shakira modified the song’s lyrics, changing “I’d move to a communist country” to “I moved to a socialist country,” a reference interpreted by fans as alluding to her personal experiences in Spain.
