It may also include music from other territories where Spanish- and Portuguese-language music is made. (Full article...)
"Did It Again" is a song recorded by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira for her eighth studio album, She Wolf (2009). It was released on 16 October 2009, by Epic Records, as the second single from the album. The song was written and produced by Shakira, with additional songwriting and production from Pharrell Williams and The Neptunes, respectively. Its Spanish-language version "Lo Hecho Está Hecho" (English: "What Is Done Is Done") includes additional lyrical contributions from Jorge Drexler. "Did It Again" is an electropop song with elements of samba. Lyrically, it details Shakira's involvement in a man's extramarital affair, which leads to her feeling guilty and hurt about it.
