Shakira wrote the lyrics, and jointly composed the music, for two new songs that are featured in the movie "Love in the Time of Cholera", based on the acclaimed novel written by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. García Marquez himself asked Shakira to write the songs. The songs that Shakira lent to the soundtrack were "Pienso en ti", a song from Shakira's breakthrough album "Pies Descalzos", "Hay Amores", and "Despedida". "Despedida" was nominated for Best Original Song at the 65th Golden Globe Awards.
