2002 single by Shakira

"Objection (Tango)" is a song by Colombian singer songwriter Shakira for her fifth studio album and first English language album Laundry Service (2001). It was the first song Shakira wrote in English after being encouraged by American singer Gloria Estefan to record material in the language. She also produced the track along with Lester Mendez. "Objection (Tango)" musically combines elements of pop rock and tango, and contains instrumentation from the bandoneón and guitar. Through the lyrics of the song, Shakira aims to end a love triangle she is a part of. The song was released as the fourth single from the album on 24 May 2002. A Spanish version of the song, entitled "Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango)" ("I'm Warning You, I'm Telling You"), was also recorded. Upon its release, "Objection (Tango)" received generally favourable reviews from music critics, some of whom found it similar to the work of American new wave band The B 52's. Commercially, "Objection (Tango)" was a success and peaked inside the top ten of record charts of various countries such as Australia, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands and France. The song became the last single from the album to chart in the United Kingdom and on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, reaching numbers 17 and 55, respectively. "Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango)" charted inside the top ten of the US Billboard Latin Pop Airplay and Latin Tropical/Salsa Airplay charts. "Objection (Tango)" was certified platinum and gold in Australia and France by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP), respectively. An accompanying music video for "Objection (Tango)" was directed by Dave Meyers and features Shakira fighting her unfaithful lover and his mistress in a club. A segment of the video is rendered in an animated cartoon form. For additional promotion, Shakira performed an Afro punk and Reggae inspired version of the song at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. It was also included in the setlist of the Tour of the Mongoose, which was launched to promote Laundry Service. "Objection (Tango)" was also used in a Pepsi commercial featuring Shakira.

In 1998, Shakira released her second major label studio album Dónde Están los Ladrones? (Where Are the Thieves? ), which became an immense success in Latin America and received multi platinum record certifications in various countries like Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Spain. The rock en Español influenced latin pop album drew comparisons to the work of Canadian American singer songwriter Alanis Morissette and "cracked the lucrative US market wide open", spending a total of 11 weeks atop the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. It became Shakira's first album to receive a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Dónde Están los Ladrones? spawned the Arabian styled single "Ojos Así" ("Eyes Like Yours"), which became a hit and was deemed the "signature track" of the album. However, Shakira was initially hesitant to record songs in English as it was not her first language, so Estefan offered to translate "Ojos Así" into English in order to show her that "it could translate well." "Objection (Tango)" became the first song Shakira wrote in English and in an interview with Faze, she talked about the writing process of the song, saying "I prayed and asked God to send me a good song today, and I remember I started writing the song ['Objection (Tango)'] a couple of hours after. I wrote the music and lyrics at the same time, and when that happens it's really magical to me." It was later released on 27 August as a CD single featuring the previous single from the album "Underneath Your Clothes" as the B side.

Although it was not a commercial success as big as the previous singles from the album, "Whenever, Wherever" and "Underneath Your Clothes", "Objection (Tango)" performed well on record charts nevertheless. In the Dutch speaking Flanders region of Belgium, it became Shakira's third consecutive top ten hit after it peaked at number nine on the Ultratop chart. Similarly, it became her third consecutive top ten in the French speaking Wallonia region of the country after it peaked at number eight. "Objection (Tango)" debuted at number 31 on the French Singles Chart and peaked at number ten for two weeks. It charted for a total of 24 weeks and was certified gold by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) for sales of 250,000 units. In Hungary, the song topped the national airplay chart. It appeared on the chart for a total of 54 weeks and thus became Shakira's longest charting song in the country. In Netherlands, the song entered the Dutch Top 40 chart at a low chart position of 48 but leaped to number 12 the following week. It later peaked at number five and spent a total of 20 weeks on the chart. "Objection (Tango)" debuted at number ten on the Norwegian Singles Chart and peaked at number eight two weeks later. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry Norway (IFPI Norway) certified it gold for sales of 5,000 units. In Sweden, the song made a high entry on the Sverigetopplistan chart at number nine and peaked at number seven. It lasted for a total of 17 weeks on the chart. It also became Shakira's first single to miss charting inside the top ten in the country. It was kept from attaining the top position by Canadian singer Avril Lavigne's song "Complicated" and later by German techno band Scooter's "The Logical Song". Its total stay on the chart lasted for 18 weeks. It became the third consecutive single from the album to attain platinum status in the country. The song performed moderately well in the United States. It became the last single from Laundry Service to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on which it peaked at number 55. The song also peaked at numbers 21 and 25 on the Top 40 Mainstream and Hot Dance Club Songs charts, respectively. "Te Aviso, Te Anuncio (Tango)" charted on the Latin record charts, peaking at number 16 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. It performed better on the Latin Pop Airplay and Latin Tropical/Salsa Airplay charts, reaching numbers seven and ten, respectively.

The accompanying music video for "Objection (Tango)" was directed by Dave Meyers and choreographed by Tina Landon. It begins with Shakira and her love interest in a bar like setting, starting with a low paced routine. Earlier on, Shakira decides to leave him but gets pulled back as their dancing continues. Later, the tango becomes faster and more intricate as the opening beat of the song kicks in. Shakira's love interest exits the bar abruptly, leaving her alone to dance to the song. She follows her love interest in a yellow car and arrives at a club where she sees him with another woman, played by Hawaiian actress Tabitha Taylor. An animated cartoon styled sequence follows as Shakira jumps over the crowd and fights her unfaithful lover and Taylor. While wrestling the latter, Shakira pokes holes in both implants of the villainess's huge bosom with her sharp fingernails and her big breasts gushes out air from the holes in her breasts and is shown to deflate and reduce in size as the line "Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal" plays. As she grabs her deflating bosom in terror as her bosom deflates and shrinks After the buxom villainess is deflated and defeated Shakira defeats the man, the animated sequence ends and the fight is shown to happen only in Shakira's imagination. When she tries to fight the man and Taylor in reality, she is quickly defeated and crashes into a glass table. Two men resembling comical superheroes, one of whom is played by Dan Southworth, appear to her aid and quickly defeat the man, while Shakira defeats Taylor. The two are shown gagged up in the boot of Shakira's car and are then tied up on spinning discs in an industrial engine room while Shakira performs with a band. The discs spin faster and faster until they come off and are sent flying off at a high speed. Scenes of Shakira dancing at the bar and performing the song with a band are interspersed throughout the video. The music video reached number one on the Total Request Live chart.
