"Hay Amores" (English: "There Are Loves") is a song recorded by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira for the extended play (EP) and soundtrack Love in the Time of Cholera (2008). Shakira wrote the song for the Mike Newell-directed 2007 film adaptation of Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez's 1985 novel Love in the Time of Cholera. Brazilian film score composer Antônio Pinto produced the song and composed it with Shakira.[1] Shakira was initially offered a role by the producers of the movie to take part as the main protagonist. However, she refused the offer, instead collaborating with the musical team due to her friendship with García Márquez. "Hay Amores" is a romantic and elegiac bolero song.[2] Lyrically, the song describes the kind of love that only grows fonder as time passes by. The song won a Premios Nuestra Tierra award in the Best Movie Soundtrack category.
