"Por Amarte" (Eng.: To Love You) is the title of the third single released by Enrique Iglesias from his debut album.[1]

Song information

The track was written by Roberto Morales and Enrique Iglesias, and became Iglesias’ third consecutive chart topper in U.S. The song also was featured on the Mexican telenovela Marisol with a few changes in the lyrics. Instead of Por amarte daría mi vida ("To love you, I’d give my life"), the words were: Por amarte Marisol, moriría ("To love you, Marisol, I’d die"). The singer won an ASCAP award for Por Amarte in 1996 and at the 9th Lo Nuestro Awards received a nomination for "Pop Song of the Year", losing to Iglesias own "Experiencia Religiosa".[2]

Chart performances

The track debuted in the United States Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart at number 8 on 18 May 1996, and rise to number 1 in only three weeks (the fastest for the singer) and spent eight weeks at pole position. The single spent twelve weeks in the Top Ten and also peaked at number 1 in Mexico for two weeks. Por Amarte peaked at number-one one week after the album Enrique Iglesias climbed to number-one in the Top Latin Albums chart for the first time.
