"La Tortura" (
Upon its release, "La Tortura" received generally positive reviews by music critics, who agreed that the song was a highlight from Fijación Oral, Vol. 1; they were also ambivalent towards its "Shaketon Mix". It was well received commercially, reaching number one in several countries worldwide, including Hungary, Spain and Venezuela. In the United States, the single reached number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 (giving Sanz his only entry on said chart), while topping the Hot Latin Songs chart for 25 non-consecutive weeks. It was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for a million digital copies sold in the region. "La Tortura" received multiple awards and nominations, including the Latin Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

During the 2004 Christmas holidays, Shakira and Sanz worked together in his home studio in Miami.
Composition

Musically, "La Tortura" is a
According to Shakira, "La Tortura" lyrically deals with "love and hate, infidelity, doubts, a chance of being forgiven... it's a song a wrote in order to reflect that Latin reality called machismo, which is both tragic and comic at the same time".[19] The track is about the torture it has been for two lovers to leave each other. He continually betrays her, and she is tired of his lies.[20] Sanz sings, "I know I have not been a saint/but I can fix it baby",[a] while Shakira responds "you better keep that bone to another dog and then we say goodbye".[b][10] The song ends as she decides to leave him despite his pleas, and asserts that she will not cry over him.[20]
Critical response
Upon release, "La Tortura" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Matt Cibula from PopMatters wrote that "what really matters are these two overheated voices working with and against each other, and the way that undeniable beat really comes alive when there is actually a beautiful melody underneath it".[21] Described as a "beat-heavy scorcher" by Geoff Harkness from Chicago Tribune, it was seen by the journalist as the best track on the album, who saw its choice as the lead single as a "no-brainer".[22] The staff of Houston Chronicle agreed, naming the track an "obvious standout", and complimenting Sanz's vocals, as his "raspy delivery gives the song a razor-sharp edge".[15] Spence D. from IGN opined that the "ethnic" musical implements on "La Tortura", such as accordion, Spanish guitar flutters, jostling rhythms, and Sanz's vocals "make for one of the more enjoyable and distinct inclusions on the album; a slice of Shakira being Shakira and eschewing the affectation of anybody else's vocal stylings".[23]
