The meaning of lyrics can either be explicit or implicit. The words to an extended musical composition such as an opera are, however, usually known as a " libretto" and their writer, as a " librettist". Lyrics are words that make up a song usually consisting of verses and choruses. Enrique points out about Marco Antonio that he admires him a lot, not only as a person but also as an artist, and that teaming up with him on his song "El Perdedor" has been a very special and unforgettable experience in his career. Enrique got to know Marco as a person eighteen years ago when the Mexican legend lent him one of his songs "Invéntame", which Enrique sang for his first album. BackgroundĪccording to reports, Enrique said that he wrote this song 8 years ago and for a lot of years he saved the track in a closet waiting for the right time to suggest it to one of his biggest idols, Marco Antonio Solís, and to ask him to put his vocals on it. The song was composed by Iglesias and Descemer Bueno.
The song was released in the United States and Mexico on 30 October 2013 and was later released to other Latin countries. This is the fifth time that Enrique's song is chosen as an opening theme of a telenovela after "Cosas del Amor", " Nunca Te Olvidaré", " Cuando Me Enamoro" and " Marisol" (Por Amarte). It serves as the opening theme of Mexican telenovela Lo que la vida me robó. " El Perdedor" ( English: "'The Loser'") is the second Spanish single from Enrique Iglesias' album Sex and Love.
