"You") is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira from her fourth studio album, Dónde Están los Ladrones?

After rising to prominence with the success of her major-label debut album Pies Descalzos (1995), Shakira was introduced to Emilio Estefan, the most important producer in the Hispanic market at the time, by her promoter and longtime friend, Jairo Martínez.

But many people wag their finger and tell me that the next one cannot take so long..."[1] Shakira was involved with the compositions for all the tracks in the album, including "Tú".

[9] "Tú" was released as the album's second single to radio stations in various countries in 1998 by Columbia Records and Sony Discos.

[14] In August 1999, Shakira sang an acoustic version of "Tú" during an episode of MTV Unplugged in New York City.

[16] The Dallas Morning News critic Mario Tarradell stated that Shakira "ventures into orchestrated ballad territory with majestic results.

"[17] In a mixed review for Dónde Están los Ladrones?, the Latin Beat Magazine's Franz Reynold cited "Tú" and "Inevitable" where "Shakira's naturally sad tones are employed to fine effect".

[18] The Los Angeles Times writer Ernesto Lechner notes the artist "showcasing her sly way of combining heartfelt sentiment with a trace of irony.

"[9] In a retrospective review of the song in 2006, an editor for Latina magazine noted that while its lyrics might make the singer look like a "doormat for the guy", they declared it as a "gutsy, sensual move" as Shakira's voice "sells the message beautifully".

It was filmed from the same angle throughout almost all of the video and a black and white filter was applied to the footage, although a version in color later leaked online.

It is set in an open-plan living room and kitchen with furniture reminiscent of the 1960s, where Shakira performs house activities such as inside a refrigerator, shaving her leg, and sitting on a couch.
