"No Creo" (I don't believe) is a song written and performed by the Colombian singer-songwriterShakira. The song was released as the fourth single, although initially intended to be the lead, from her multi-platinum albumDónde Están los Ladrones? (1998) and later from heracoustic performance of the song on theMTV showUnplugged (2000). In the song, the singer expresses how she believes in nothing and nobody except her lover. The song references popular socially accepted or non-accepted norms such as herself,luck,Karl Marx,Jean-Paul Sartre,Mars andVenus, andBrian Weiss.
The video begins in a room, where Shakira jumps out of a window into a grassland where eccentric people are present. She scratches the ceiling of a room, goes through dark rooms, riots, swims through a washing room. A brief scene of the video is played on a screen in the music video for "Ciega, Sordomuda", which sparked speculation that some scenes were shot back-to-back with "Ciega, Sordomuda". It was later confirmed that although "No Creo" was originally intended to be the first single from the album, Sony decided that "Ciega, Sordomuda" would be a better opener of the album cycle.
