Shakira joined Beyoncé as the featured vocalist on “Beautiful Liar.”
The song was released in 2007 as a single from the deluxe edition of Beyoncé’s album B’Day. It is a bilingual-leaning pop and R&B collaboration built around two singers confronting the same unfaithful man, although the performers largely sing in English.
“Beautiful Liar” became a major international success and reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. Its music video emphasized synchronized choreography and visually blended the two artists, making the collaboration especially memorable.
The song is sometimes confused with Beyoncé’s other major female collaborations, including “Telephone” with Lady Gaga and “Me, Myself and I” with no featured artist. Shakira’s presence is central to the recording’s identity: the track was promoted as a meeting of two globally recognized performers from different pop markets.
