"Inevitable" is a Latin rock song written and performed by Colombian-born singer Shakira, released as the third single from her 1998 multi-platinum album ¿Dónde Están los Ladrones?. In addition, she has also released an English version, entitled "Inevitable (English)", which has been performed in a few USA shows such as The Rosie O'Donnell Show and The ALMA Awards. Although "Inevitable" didn't reach the number-one spot on Billboard Hot Latin Tracks, it has been deemed one of her prominent songs in her career. There has been a noticeable change in her singing version of the song in recent performances, predominantly during the Oral Fixation Tour. Instead of caterwauling after the 2nd chorus as recorded, she holds the note of "inevitable". She has made this change since her 1999 MTV Unplugged performance.
Music video
In the video for "Inevitable", Shakira is singing the song to an audience. The video starts out with candlelights coming form the audience. As the song progresses, strobe lights shine on Shakira and her band as she shakes her head. Toward the end of the video, bubbles and confetti fall from above, the song slows to almost an acapella, and the video exits with Shakira holding her microphone over her head.
