More about this title

About the Artist: Jon Secada

Jon Secada built his career as a crossover artist, moving fluidly between pop, R&B, and adult contemporary markets in the 1990s. His work as both performer and songwriter reflects a gift for crafting accessible melodic hooks paired with emotionally grounded lyrics that resonate across mainstream audiences.

Why we love this

This song gives voice students and pianist-singers a contemporary piece with genuine lyrical vulnerability. The piano/vocal/chords format makes it workable for accompaniment lessons, studio prep, or performance class repertoire where students need modern material that sits comfortably in a commercial-music or crossover-performance setting.

What to expect

The song carries a wistful, introspective quality with reflective lyrics set against smooth harmonic movement. There's an intimate quality here, neither aggressive nor overly sentimental, that invites singers to explore restraint and emotional clarity.

Who it's for

Pianists accompanying singers in studio or recital settings will find this accessible. Voice students developing contemporary repertoire and adult learners exploring pop and adult contemporary standards will also benefit from this piece's straightforward musicality.

How to get the most out of it

  • Approach the vocal phrasing with conversational tone first; the emotional weight lives in natural speech rhythms rather than operatic shaping.
  • Use the chord chart to explore different voicings on piano, testing which colors support the vocal line without overshadowing it.
  • Pay attention to dynamics across the form; resist the urge to sing at full voice from the top. Leave room for the song's emotional arc.

How to use it

This works well in a contemporary-music recital, a jazz or commercial-music showcase, or as an encore piece for a mixed-genre vocal concert. The familiar artist name and accessible style also make it suitable for benefit performances or community events where popular material keeps audiences engaged.
