More about this title

About the Artist: Jon Secada

Jon Secada is a Cuban American singer, songwriter, and musician whose career spans pop, Latin, and adult contemporary music. His work as both performer and composer reflects a sophisticated blend of English and Spanish language sensibilities, earning him recognition across mainstream and Latin markets throughout the 1990s and beyond.

Why we love this

This song offers vocalists a chance to work with contemporary pop-rock material that carries genuine Latin sensibility without requiring extensive genre-specific training. The chord voicings are accessible yet sophisticated enough to hold an adult singer's interest, and the song sits in a comfortable range for most voices while still allowing for expressive interpretation.

What to expect

The song carries a warm, conversational quality that feels both intimate and accessible, with undercurrents of Latin flavor that prevent it from sounding generic. There's a genuine tenderness in the melodic writing that invites emotional investment without sentimentality.

Who it's for

Vocalists in high school, college, and adult amateur settings who want to perform contemporary pop material with substance will connect with this song. Piano accompanists will appreciate the clear chord chart and straightforward voicing that supports singing without overwhelming it.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to the Latin rhythmic underpinnings in the accompaniment; let them inform your phrasing rather than working against them, even in the pop-oriented sections.
  • Use the piano part to anchor your vocal line, but allow yourself space to breathe naturally at the end of phrases rather than rigidly following every note.
  • Explore the emotional arc across the full song; the dynamic contrast between verses and chorus works best when you build intention gradually rather than jumping to full intensity immediately.

How to use it

This works particularly well in recital settings where you're building a program that mixes contemporary and traditional material, or as a feature for a vocalist in a jazz or pop ensemble concert. It can anchor a set exploring Latin influences in contemporary American pop music.
