Upon its release, "She Wolf" was met with favourable reception from music critics, receiving praise for its inventiveness. Commercially, "She Wolf" performed well on record charts. It peaked in the top 10 of charts of countries like Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. In the United States, "She Wolf" peaked at numbers 11 and one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and Dance/Club Play Songs charts, respectively. The Spanish-language translation "Loba" peaked at number one on both the Hot Latin Songs and Tropical Songs charts. "She Wolf" was certified double-platinum in Spain and platinum in Italy, Mexico, and the United States.
An accompanying music video for the song was directed by Jake Nava, and features Shakira dancing in various locations, such as a red cave and a golden cage. Critical reception towards the video was also positive, many of whom praised Shakira's dancing ability. For additional promotion, Shakira performed the song on a number of shows and music festivals. It was also a part of the setlist for The Sun Comes Out World Tour in 2010.
She Wolf" was composed by Shakira, John Hill, and Sam Endicott.[3] Its lyrics were written by Shakira. Shakira and Hill also served as the producers of the song.[3] It contains a sample of the strings breakdown from "Good Times" by Chic.[4] In an interview with Rolling Stone, Shakira said that the idea for "She Wolf" came to her "very mysteriously", revealing "I was in the studio in a bad mood that day, then I got inspired and went to a corner and I wrote the lyrics and the melody in 10 minutes. The image of the she wolf just came to my head, and when I least expected it I was howling and panting".[5] Endicott, musician and lead singer of American post-punk band The Bravery, explained how he and Hill began working with Shakira, saying she "contacted him (Hill), asking if he had any stuff. We never had her in mind. We just made the thing independently of her, and then she liked it a lot, and she sang over it. She used some of the melodies we put in there and then wrote these crazy lyrics about being a werewolf. And that's how it happened".[6] "She Wolf" was described by Slant Magazine as a "sleek, hi-NRG/Italo throwback that's drenched in disco strings" and "sleek electropop".[7] Mikael Wood from Spin identified the song's genre as synth-pop.[8] Shakira also howls and pants at various times during the song.[1][2][9] It is written in B minor key and is a fast dance groove with a tempo of 122 beats per minute.[10] Shakira's vocal range on the song spans from B3 to D5.[10] One of the lines of the song, in which Shakira sings "I'm starting to feel just a little abused, like a coffee machine in an office", is often cited as an example of the unusual lyrics present in Shakira's songs. The song was released by Epic Records as the lead single from the album of the same name.[1][17][18] "She Wolf" was made available for digital download on iTunes on 10 July 2009.[19] It was released as a CD single later on 21 September.[2][9] A Spanish-language translation of the song titled "Loba", which features additional lyrical contributions from Jorge Drexler,[20] was released on 6 July 2009.[21]
Critical reception

The song was well received by most music critics. David Balls from Digital Spy gave the song a positive review and said that the song "manages to be fresh and quirky while still sounding like a smash".[2] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine labelled "She Wolf" as a "sleek, hi-NRG/Italo throwback" and said that its lyrics "walk a fine line between campy and really campy".[7]
