"Dare (La La La)" is a song recorded by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira from her self-titled tenth studio album Shakira (2014). The song was first released to contemporary hit radio in Italy on 24 April 2014, as the third single from the album and was later released in a remix bundle in the United States via RCA Records. The song was co-written by Shakira, Jay Singh (J2), Dr. Luke, Mathieu Jomphe-Lepine, Max Martin, Cirkut, Raelene Arreguin and John J. Conte, Jr. while the production was handled by J2, Dr. Luke, Shakira, Cirkut and Billboard. The song is an uptempo dance-pop song built over drums and chants. A Spanish-language translation of the song titled "La La La" was also released in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Ecuador and Spain.

A reworked version of the song titled "La La La (Brazil 2014)" was released on 27 May as the second theme song for the 2014 World Cup Official Album. This was Shakira's second time singing a theme song for the FIFA World Cup (the first being in 2010); she also sang the 2006 World Cup theme song, "Hips Don't Lie/Bamboo" (featuring Wyclef Jean), which was a remake of her worldwide hit "Hips Don't Lie". The song included new lyrics and features Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown. The version was praised by music critics and fared well commercially. An accompanying video was directed by Shakira's long time collaborator Jaume de Laiguana, the music video is influenced by Afro-Brazilian heritage and tribal imagery and features cameos from a variety of football players including Lionel Messi, Neymar, Cesc Fàbregas, Sergio Agüero, Radamel Falcao, James Rodríguez, Eric Abidal, Shakira's then-boyfriend Gerard Piqué and their son Milan. Both versions of the song are Shakira's only collaborations with Dr. Luke.
