Before the release of Shakira's second English album, Oral Fixation Vol. 2, she appeared at the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon, Portugal and she was nominated in the category of "Best Female", which she won. Shakira performed Oral Fixation Vol. 2's lead single "Don't Bother" with a car on stage following her win.

In 2006, Shakira and Alejandro Sanz worked together again; this time the duet is called "Te lo Agradezco, Pero No" and it is featured on Alejandro Sanz' album El Tren de los Momentos. Also, Shakira announced her two new singles, "Illegal" featuring Carlos Santana and "La Pared", which became a great hit in Spain. She has also worked with R&B singer-songwriter Beyoncé, who will release the single "Beautiful Liar" with Beyoncé singing in English and Shakira singing in Spanish, for Beyoncé's rerelease of her B'Day album.

On April 3, 2006, Shakira was honored at an United Nations ceremony for creating the Pies Descalzos Foundation, a charity that helps to protect children from violence in Colombia. At the event she said: "Let's not forget that at the end of this day when we all go home, 960 children will have died in Latin America."
