Overview

"Inevitable" is a Latin rock song co-written and performed by Colombian-born singer Shakira, released as the fourth single from her 1998 multi-platinum album Dónde Están los Ladrones?. Music video In the video for "Inevitable", Shakira is singing the song to an audience in a circular stage. The video starts out with candlelights coming from the audience. As the song progresses, strobe lights shine on Shakira and her band as she shakes her head. Toward the end of the video, bubbles and confetti fall from above, the song slows to almost an a cappella, and the video exits with Shakira holding her microphone over her head. Scenes from the video were also re-edited for a Pepsi commercial that aired throughout Latin America in 1999. In the commercial, a man opens a Pepsi can which the stage (edited to have the Pepsi logo) is inside of, and the audience hold Pepsi cans which burst open to the rhythm of the song. At the end, the man smiles, and Shakira holds a Pepsi can while saying the Spanish version of the slogan, "pide más". English version In addition, an English version was also penned, which then was planned for an English version of ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones?. It is titled "Inevitable (English)", which has been performed at some United States shows such as The Rosie O'Donnell Show and The ALMA Awards, the latter being performed with Melissa Etheridge. However, plans were soon scrapped, and Shakira released Laundry Service instead.

Along with Luis Fernando Ochoa, she composed the music and managed the production.
