Brenda K. Starr version
Background and recording
Recording for the album began after a label executive suggested that Starr record salsa music, as she had previously only recorded in the freestyle, pop and dance genres. While recording the song, Starr had problems with the pronunciation of certain words due to her inability to speak fluent Spanish.[5]
On the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart, the song debuted at number thirty-four for the week of March 29, 1997.[6] It peaked at number twenty-eight for the week of May 3, 1997.[7] On the Billboard Latin Pop Tracks chart, the song debuted at number seventeen for the week of March 29, 1997.[8] It peaked at number fourteen for the week of April 19, 1997.[9] On the Billboard Tropical/Salsa Tracks chart, the song debuted at number sixteen for the week of February 15, 1997.[10] Ten weeks later, for the week of April 19, 1997, the song reached the top of the chart, replacing Gilberto Santa Rosa's "Yo No Te Pido."[11] It spent an additional week at number-one, for the week of April 26, 1997,[12] before being succeeded by Frankie Negron's "Inolvidable."[13]
