Furtado also became the first North American act to have an originally written Spanish song to reach number-one on the chart.

[5] Furtado told MTV that the song is about "surrendering to love, and vulnerability ... and it talks about the dynamic of a relationship and the everyday fight to be a couple".

[6] Furtado felt that the emotions that the lyrics portray could only be expressed in Spanish because, as she put it: "There's a complexity going on there that would be a bit of a train-wreck in English.

[9] It was recorded by Bryan at the Rumblecone Studios and The Orange Lounge in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and mixed by Demacio "Demo" Castellón.

[10] Mayer Nissim of Digital Spy said: "the fact that 'Manos' and several other songs feature rather Americanised production can prevent them from completely hitting the mark - sad to say, but Furtado's tunes don't always get the Spanish wallop her vocals deserve.

"[3] Leila Cobo stated that the song "doesn't set the tone for the album, which balances intimacy with commercial appeal.

"[11] Michael Cragg, of musicOMH, called the song "a catchy blend of rock guitars and pattering beats".

[15] Shakira's "Loba" had regained its place at number-one, ending the song's four week stint at the top spot.

[23] She also begins shedding her army gear and getting rid of her purse and other articles of clothing, all of which symbolizes letting her guard and defenses down.
