Objection (Tango) is a dynamic fusion of pop-rock and tango by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, released on May 24, 2002, as the third single from her fifth studio album, *Laundry Service*. The song, notable for being the first she wrote in English, narrates the turmoil of a love triangle, blending energetic rhythms with tango influences. The accompanying music video, directed by Dave Meyers, features Shakira confronting her unfaithful lover and his mistress, incorporating both live-action and animated sequences to depict the narrative. Upon release, the song received positive reviews for its innovative genre blend and was performed live at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, showcasing an Afro-punk and reggae-inspired rendition.
