Composed by Joss Favela, “El Beneficio de la Duda” allows another side of Eduin Caz (Grupo Firme’s frontman) to take centerstage. Known for riling up a crowd with party anthems that have catapulted Firme to stardom, Caz slows down for this heartfelt ballad, unleashing an emotion that is really touching. This norteña and banda ballad, accompanied by an accordion’s lament, is as heartbreaking as it is hopeful. “I don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt, but I’ll be grateful if someday you give it to me,” Caz implores. His soaring vocals capture the anguish embedded in the lyrics as he makes a heartfelt plea for reconnection. — GRISELDA FLORES

When Mexican siblings duo Río Roma, composed of José Luis and Raúl Ortega Castro, met the power of Carin Leon’s vocals, they ultimately delivered this soulful love song, powered by a fusion of pop and regional Mexican. “Tú Me Gustas” is all about the joy that consumes you when you’ve found the love of your life, the person you know you want to spend the rest of your days with. — INGRID FAJARDO

At only 16, Manuel Turizo released his first song, “Una Lady Como Tú.” Its feel-good, pop-reggaetón fusion and catchy ukulele struts, laced with Turizo’s deep baritone vocals, struck gold instantly. In the song, the then teen artist sings about looking for a special lady to love: “I’m looking for a lady/I want her like you/I want you to fall in love/how I’m in love with you.” “Una Lady Como Tú” peaked at No. 10 on the Latin Digital Song Sales chart in September 2017, becoming Turizo’s first Billboard chart entry. — JESSICA ROIZ

An intuitive songwriter with a knack for painting the various shades of love — and somehow making them all relatable — Julieta Venegas is one of Latin pop’s most gifted forces. The Tijuana native elevates matters of the heart, while maneuvering between the poppy and the visceral. “Andar Conmigo” details the playfulness of romance’s first stages, whether in your teens or seeking a new romantic adventure past your prime. Her accordion riffs and steely strings give this a norteño vibe that blends beautifully with pop. It’s a compassionate invitation to get to know a potential mate little by little, to see how destiny can unravel. — ISABELA RAYGOZA

With its traditional brass instrumentation and powerful high vocals, this song is a declaration of love, as its lyrics talk about proudly showing off that person who makes you feel the most beautiful things about love. “Te Presumo” is one of Banda El Recodo’s biggest hits, peaking at No. 1 on Regional Mexican Airplay in 2009 and topping the chart for 15 weeks. It was also No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs for six weeks. — I.F.

It was not his first foray into the Dominican genre, but it was undoubtedly the most romantic. With “Bailando Bachata,” Chayanne made us dance cheek to cheek with that special someone in our lives, or at least imagine it. From the opening line (“How lucky I am that I can see you when I wake up every day”) to the catchy chorus (“We are the glass and the wine/ You and I have been together since we saw each other”), this song — co-written by the Puerto Rican pop star with Yasmil Marrufo, Andy Clay Cruz Felipe and Mario Alberto Cáceres Pacheco — spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Tropical Airplay chart. It’s an instant classic of tropical love, sweet and sublime. — SIGAL RATNER-ARIAS

Rauw Alejandro finds a perfect balance between Latin trap’s gaudiness and pop’s sweetness, showcasing how he can play both naughty and nice with Trap Cake, Vol. 2. Raising lust to the level of high art, the Puerto Rican lothario paints a broad canvas of sexual expression on “Museo.” Leading with glimmering piano keys and his unmistakable coo, the slow urbano ballad could be described as a no-holds-barred mating call — where, in a way, a human body becomes synonymous with the grandeur of art in a museum. — I.R.

It was a summer anthem in 2001, and almost a quarter of a century later “Azul” by Cristian Castro remains a classic of pop rock in Spanish, with its infectious chorus, that guitar solo and the penetrating and prodigious voice of the Mexican singer. Written by brothers Kike and Gustavo Santander, “Azul” is a ballad that expresses a love as deep and intense as the color of the sky, repeating the word “azul” (blue) 59 times throughout the song. “This love is blue like the blue sea/ Like the blue of the sky it was born between the two of us/ Blue like the star of our passion/ A blue spring that fills me with love,” he sings.

Leave it to Kali Uchis to sing about the challenging long-distance relationship in “telepatía.” The trippy-yet-sultry R&B/funk fusion — which became her breakthrough banger in 2021 — is about wanting to “make love through telepathy.” “You know I’m just a flight away/ If you wanted you can take a private plane/ A kilómetros estamos conectando (We’re connected although we’re miles apart)/ Y me prendes aunque no me estés tocando (And you turn me on even if you’re not touching me),” she chants in the bilingual track. “Telepatía” became Uchis’ first No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs in 2021 — making her the first female soloist without an accompanying act to lead the list since 2012. — J.R.

One of the most captivating songs that Maluma has gifted his fans is beautifully enhanced by the gentle strings of a guitar, perfectly complementing his velvety vocals.

Perfect to dedicate to a loved one from afar, Andrea Bocelli’s “Por Ti Volaré” evokes the hope of a joyous reunion. “For you, I will fly/ Wait for me, I will arrive/ The end of my journey is you/ With you, I will live”, goes part of the chorus in the Spanish version of “Con te partirò” (1995), which, in the beautiful voice of the legendary Italian tenor, goes straight for the heart. — S.R.A.

“Niña Bonita” ultimately put Chino & Nacho on the radar in 2010, becoming the outfit’s breakthrough hit. The sugary merengue-pop tune, produced by Richy Peña, perfectly captures the essence of the Venezuelan group, which for the most part, sang about love. “My pretty girl, bright star/ The phrase ‘I care for you’ is too small/ That’s why my lips tell you ‘I love you’/ When we’re together we fall in love even more/There’s love here,” the former duo chants. “Niña Bonita” spent three weeks at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs in 2010. — J.R.

Sonically, Tito El Bambino was ahead of the game in 2010, mixing styles like cumbia, merengue and pop in “El Amor.” But lyrically, Tito placed all bets on the theme of love to build a deep and genuine connection with fans. The lyrics to this hit song, which peaked at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs in 2009, are simple yet effective. “Love is a magic, a simple fantasy. It’s like a dream, and at last I found it,” he sings evocatively. The track resonated so much that it was later recorded in other genres, including regional Mexican and salsa. — G.F.

Amid steely guitar strums and brass blasts, Mon Laferte pours every ounce of her soul into “Amor Completo,” a fervid ode to all-encompassing love. The Chilean songstress, known for her emotional transparency, captures the dizzying exhilaration of new love with lines like, “No hay nada mejor que probar un primer beso, y más de ti.” The visceral imagery in her lyrics — “Arrúllame, ahógame, aplástame”— offers a raw, palpable exploration of love’s dual nature, both nurturing and consuming. Her potent delivery makes this song a passionate testament to love that intoxicates and fills life with vivid colors. — I.R.

Los Temerarios — led by brothers Gustavo and Adolfo Ángel — have a hefty and significant catalog of heartbreak and love songs, although most tend to be about heartbreak. There is one that truly stands out in the love department, and it’s sung by Adolfo, who very rarely took lead in vocals. In “La Mujer Que Soñé,” Adolfo sings passionately about the meeting the woman that he’s always dreamed of. In the song, he lists all the reasons why he loves this dream woman. “For that magic of your gaze, your sweetness … I will never leave you, you will always be the woman I dreamed of.” — G.F.

Backed by one of the greatest poets of Latin music, the Dominican maestro Juan Luis Guerra, “Cuando Me Enamoro” is without a doubt one of the most romantic songs by Enrique Iglesias. The song — a fusion of pop and bachata that served as main theme of a Mexican telenovela of the same name – talks about getting the stars and the moon for the loved one, and loving with joy and desperation: “Time stops, my soul returns to my body, I smile, when I fall in love.” On the Billboard charts, it spent 17 weeks at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs and six atop Tropical Airplay. The song comes with a tender music video, in which both artists sing in front of a group of children at a school auditorium. — S.R.A.

In Marco Antonio Solis’ prolific song catalog, there are songs about love, lust, heartbreak and Mexican pride, but also about friends who don’t want to be in the friend zone. Hence “Más Que Tu Amigo” (more than a friend) — a flirty cumbia sonidera about a person declaring his love to a friend. “I like you so much, you drive me crazy/ And I can’t hide it anymore/ You appear everywhere/ Like an illusion in my eyes,” the Mexican artist sings in the timeless tune. “Más Que Tu Amigo” peaked at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart in 2004. — J.R.

An emblematic jewel from the 1949 film Nosotros los Pobres, of the golden age of Mexican cinema, “Amorcito Corazón” stands as a cultural masterpiece within Mexican cinema, sung by the legendary Pedro Infante.

This timeless track resonates deeply in the cultural memory, transporting listeners back to classic romanticism — a true gem from a bygone era. — I.R.

Pablo Alborán’s charming flamenco-sounding vocals pair perfectly with this acoustic pop song that thrives on elegant and delicate piano. In “Solamente Tú,” released in 2011, he narrates all the emotions a significant other can make you feel. It may seem like your typical love song, but there’s nothing clichéd about the message the Spaniard wants to get across. “I navigate between the waves of your voice,” he sings. — I.F.

Inspired by the real-life love story of her own grandparents, Selena Quintanilla released “Amor Prohibido” (Forbidden Love) in 1994, detailing a couple who is going strong against all odds. “Even though I’m poor, all of this that I give you is worth more than money because it’s love/ And when we’re finally together, who cares what people or society say/ What matters here is our love, I love you,” the late Queen of Tejano belts. The danceable cumbia peaked at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs in 1994, where it spent nine weeks at the top. — J.R.

The Mexican pop group Reik and the Colombian pop heartthrob Sebastián Yatra sing of a love so fleeting but so intense, that they’re willing to wait however long it takes to relive it again.

The emotional music video goes beyond couples to include the yearning for any loved one far away. — S.R.A.

It’s no surprise that Intocable’s “Sueña” spent 13 weeks atop the Regional Mexican Airplay chart. The norteño song, powered by a melancholic accordion melody, finds frontman Ricky Muñoz evocatively asking, almost begging, the person he loves to never leave him. “I want you to know tonight, how much I love you and how happy I am/ Tonight, I want to take a breath of life from your lips for my heart … I wouldn’t mind dying in your arms, because I love you.” It describes that all-consuming feeling of being in love and never wanting to let go of each other. — G.F.

In 2019, Karol G released “Ocean,” a romantic ballad that’s part of her sophomore set of the same name.

Pepe Aguilar injects such pathos into his delivery of “Me Estoy Acostumbrando a Ti” that you can’t help but swoon when you listen to it.

No other Latin American song condenses in such few words the feeling of longing and despair that “Bésame Mucho” conveys. Written in 1940 by Consuelo Velázquez, this classic was daring for its time due to its direct and profound lyrics (in Spanish): “Kiss me, kiss me a lot/ As if tonight was the last time/ Kiss me, kiss me a lot/ I’m afraid of losing you later.” It’s hard to fathom that the Mexican singer-songwriter was barely a teenager when she wrote it. Since then, the song has been reinterpreted by countless artists, from the Los Panchos Trío and Plácido Domingo to The Beatles and Frank Sinatra. — S.R.A

When you listen to most of Carla Morrison’s songs, you can’t help but want to cry (which is probably her intention after all). Whether she’s narrating the most idyllic love story or your worst heartbreak, her lyrics really tug at your heartstrings. It’s a combination of many things, but it’s her emotionally layered lyrics and delicate and velvety vocals that will really do it for you. “Eres Tú” is no exception: Part of her 2012 album Déjenme Llorar (Let Me Cry), the feel-good, almost soothing song is a pure declaration of love. “I love seeing you, having you, hugging you/ When I’m next to you, all the good things in me blossom/ It’s you/ That magnet of beautiful energy.” she sings. — G.F.

Fonseca’s voice has a captivating charm that deeply engages listeners, transforming this song into a poetic masterpiece, harmonized with the rich tones of a vallenato accordion. “Te Mando Flores” is accompanied by Fonseca’s melodious voice, which vividly illustrates the characteristics of each petal that blossoms to tell a story, and create a unique language that represents love. — I.F.

Juanes took the Latin pop-rock world by storm when he released his sophomore album Un Día Normal in 2002 — home to 12 career-turning songs, including the ever-romantic “Es Por Ti.” The slow-rock ballad is a love letter to his partner, where he states that thanks to them, he’s been able to love again. “It’s because of you that my heart beats/ It’s because of you that I speak of love again/ It’s because of you that my eyes shine/ It’s because of you that my pain has left,” he sweetly sings. “Es Por Ti” earned the Colombian artist the Latin Grammy for song of the year and record of the year in 2003. — J.R.

The song reached No. 11 on Billboard‘s Mexico Español Airplay chart. — I.R.

Fito Páez’s “El Amor Después del Amor” marks one of the most majestic waypoints in Argentine rock history. The song — a sweeping tribute to love’s enduring flame even after its initial blaze wanes — is undoubtedly Páez’s signature hit. Through his exquisite piano playing, he explores the transformative power of love. Lyrics like “El amor, después del amor tal vez/ Se parezca a este rayo de sol,” evoke a glowing reconnection following growing pains. This track gave title to Netflix’s 2023 bioseries about Paez, Love after Music, and it still resonates more than three decades later. Because in the end, like the song says, no one can and no one should live without love!  — I.R.

Juan Luis Guerra has always been known for his feel-good, romantic penmanship, and “Mi Bendición” is proof of that.

Known for their romantic lyrics, the duo — composed of Argentine singer-songwriter Noel Schajris and Mexican hitmaker Leonel García — knew how to tug at your heartstrings with songs like the piano-led “Entra En Mi Vida.” Sung by both Schajris and García, their powerful and melodic vocals soar as they sing “Come into my life, I beg of you/ I began to miss you, but I began to need you afterwards.” “Entra” peaked at No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs in 2002. — G.F.

A hopeless romantic whose destiny had other plans is who Mexican singer-songwriter Reyli Barba spotlights in “Amor del Bueno” (The Good Love). The 2004-released track, part of his album En La Luna, is a soft-rock ballad where the former Elefantes frontman sings about finally finding “the one.” “And no one looked for it/ And no one planned it this way/ It was in my destiny/ That you were made for me/ And nobody bet on it/ That I’d be so happy/ But cupid looked out for me,” he passionately chants. “Amor del Bueno” was nominated for record of the year at the 2005 Latin Grammys. — J.R.

For the kind of love that changes your life forever — like the one Carlos Vives found in his wife Claudia Elena Vásquez — the Colombian singer-songwriter created “Volví A Nacer.” The romantic vallenato, which topped Hot Latin Songs chart in 2012, has become a classic for marriage proposals. “I want to marry you/ Stay by your side/ Be blessed with your love/ That’s why I want to leave my past/ For you to come with me/ Die in your arms, sweet love,” Vives sings in his characteristic Caribbean style, in español. — S.R.A.

Describing a person who’s lost in the world, with broken wings and surrounded by fallen angels, the song turns into a hopeful love miracle. “Eres Mi Religión” is a romantic ballad powered by hard-hitting drums and electric guitar, but with honest lyrics about unconditional love. In every verse, there’s an unconditional metaphor describing how pure and unexpected love can be: “My love, you appeared in my life and cured my wounds… In a world of illusion, I was evicted, I was abandoned, I lived without meaning, but you came/ Oh my love, you are my religion,” the Mexican band sings. — J.R.

Before she pivoted to disarming battle-pop on her 2023 Bizarrap sesh, Shakira built a cathedral of romantic infatuation. In a collection of love’s most magical moments, “Antología” chronicles many meaningful interactions that elevated her devotion to a romantic partner. It’s a song equipped with swoon-worthy effects like no other, doused in vulnerability. She knows how to describe a feeling so well, and this 1995 guitar ballad is pure feeling. If this won’t make any love cynic kneel down at the feet of Aphrodite, then who knows what will. — I.R

Juan Gabriel is an idol, a legend, a poet and a romantic. JuanGa’s songs are good for the soul, whether you’re going through a heartbreak or on the cusp of surrendering yourself to love. The Mexican singer-songwriter’s ability to write such relatable lyrics is showcased in “Con Tu Amor,” a pop ballad where he doesn’t belt out the lyrics, like he usually does to help get his emotions across. Instead, in whisper-like vocals, he emotionally sings: “I was alone, I was sad/ I thought I’d never find love/ Until you got here, my suffering is gone/ With your love, I started to forget about pain.” — G.F.

“Amarte Es Un Placer” (Loving You Is a Pleasure) is a musical poem.

Franco de Vita recounts the beginning of a relationship with a simplicity and a feeling that we can all relate to — that magical moment when we can feel butterflies and we realize that we are in love. “I love you, from the first moment I saw you/ And for a long time I was looking for you and I already imagined you like this,” sings the Italian-Venezuelan artist in Spanish in his classic from 1988, perfect for any couple of lovebirds who are just starting out. — S.R.A.

Released in the late 1950s, “Nuestro Juramento” (Our Oath), by the late Ecuadorian Julio Jaramillo, is just that: a deep and very honest vow to the love of his life. In the heartfelt bolero, Jaramillo starts off by saying he feels sad if his partner is going through something, and then promising to love them until the end. “If you die first, I promise I’ll write the story of our love/ With all my soul, full of feeling/ I’ll write it with blood, with the blood ink from the heart,” goes a chorus that has stood the test of time. — J.R.

Mexican rock band Café Tacvba’s sublime “Eres” was the quintessential first dance song at every Latin couple’s wedding in the early 2000s. Which makes total sense, given that the aww-worthy ballad is perfect for the occasion as a declaration of love in the simplest way possible: “Eres” (you are). “You are what I love the most in this world. [You are] my salvation, my hope, and my faith,” Cafeta’s Emmanuel “Meme” del Real convincingly sings. — G.F.

Ricardo Montaner’s “Tan Enamorados” exudes all the hallmarks of a classic Latin power ballad, captivating with its lush orchestration and passionate lyrics that articulate the depths of profound love.

Originally released in 1988, “Tan Enamorados” was revitalized at the 2021 Premio Lo Nuestro, where Montaner performed alongside CNCO, underscoring its lasting appeal. The song dominated the Hot Latin Songs chart for an impressive 47 weeks, a testament to its timeless charm and widespread acclaim. — I.R.

Joan Sebastian will go down in history as an eternal hopeless romantic, as a poet (which explains why he was nicknamed “El Poeta del Pueblo”) who placed all bets on love, and who won the hearts of his fans. It was hard to choose just one Joan Sebastian song, but “Eso Y Más” is one of the most romantic Spanish-language songs in Latin music. “They told me about Romeo and Juliet and I thought, what a beautiful story/ But now, it seems that what I’m feeling for you is much greater and more beautiful than that,” he starts off. Then, he goes on to list everything he’d do “I’ll cross rivers, valleys to find you,” Sebastian sings over an equally nostalgic guitar melody. — G.F.

Because of its greatness, this song has been recorded by an array of artists in many styles, ranging from Trío Los Panchos to Alejando Fernández and Luis Miguel. “Contigo Aprendí” will go down in history as one of Manzanero’s best songs, showcasing the Mexican songwriter’s lyricism that thrives on its simple-yet-achingly beautiful duality. “I learned that a kiss could be sweeter and deeper,” he sings. “That I could leave this world tomorrow. The good things, I already lived them with you.” — G.F.
