This 1999 hit is one of Marc Anthony’s classics. With this one, he infused R&B with pop and a tropical beat to take over the airwaves. One thing about Marc Anthony is that he serves both English and Spanish-language jams! What can’t the man do?

“Ahora Quien”

This is one of the songs that just HITS. With lyrics like: “Oh, ¿ahora quién, si no soy yo? / Me miro y lloro en el espejo y me siento estúpido, ilógico / Y luego te imagino toda regalando el olor de tu piel / Tus besos, tu sonrisa eterna y hasta el alma en un beso, en un beso va el alma / En mi alma está el beso que pudo ser,” Marc Anthony captivates you in his heartbreak. “Ahora Quien” is part of his album Amar Sin Mentiras which was released in 2004.
