Background Marc Anthony began his recording career in 1980s as a freestyle musician during which he was a backup vocalist for boy bands such as Menudo and the Latin Rascals.[1] Anthony also wrote songs for his school friend Sa-Fire, including "Boy I've Been Told" which became a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[2] Anthony got his start as a lead vocalist when he collaborated with Little Louie Vega on the album When the Night Is Over. The lead single "Ride on the Rhythm" became a number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart.[3] RMM manager Ralph Mercado invited Anthony to record a salsa album, but Anthony declined the offer due to a lack of interest to record in Spanish. The following day, while in a taxi, Anthony was listening to Juan Gabriel's song "Hasta Que Te Conocí" ("Until I Met You") on the radio and was motivated to record in the song in salsa and told Mercado about his change of decision.[4] Mercado introduced Anthony to Sergio George who would produce the album. According to George, the album was an "total experiment", citing that it was on low budget, recorded with one musician at a time without a band, and the full production was done on computers while George handled the keyboards Music and lyrics The album includes five compositions and three cover songs. The lead track "Palabras del Alma" ("Words from the Soul") is a cover originally performed and written by Ilan Chester.[6] "Si Tú No Te Fueras" ("If You Would Not Leave") was composed by Nelson Frank and Jaime Gutierrez.[7] "Hasta Que Te Conocí" was first performed and written by Juan Gabriel.[8] "El Último Beso" was composed by Anthony's father Felipe Muñíz.[9] "Make It With You" is a cover of American band Bread's song.[10] "Necesito Amarte" was written by Luis Castillo who composed songs for RMM recording artists including José Alberto and Tito Nieves.[11] Sergio George co-wrote "¿Juego O Amor" ("Game or Love?") along with Adam Sez.[12] The final track, "Si He de Morir" ("If I Were to Die") was composed by Luis Díaz.
