Shakira wrote the song for the Mike Newell-directed 2007 film adaptation of 1985 novel Love in the Time of Cholera by Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. The song's music was co-written by Shakira and Brazilian film score composer Antônio Pinto. Shakira was initially offered a role by the producers of the movie to take part as the main protagonist. However, she refused the offer, instead collaborating with the musical team due to her friendship with García Márquez. "Hay Amores" is a romantic and elegiac bolero song. Lyrically, the song describes the kind of love that only grows fonder as time passes by. The song won a Premios Nuestra Tierra award in the Best Movie Soundtrack category.
