Background and release
edit"Aún Hay Algo" was released alongside its parent album Nuestro Amor, in September 2005, and later as the record's second single in 18 November. It was used as the second theme song for the telenovela Rebelde, where the group originated from. The band recorded a Portuguese version of the song, titled "Venha de Novo O Amor" (Spa. "Vendrá de Nuevo El Amor"; Eng. "Love Will Return"), which was released as a single in Brazil.[2] It was part of Nosso Amor Rebelde, the Portuguese version of the album. Later, Brazil would have the acoustic version of "Aún Hay Algo", taken from the band's second live album, Live in Hollywood, released as a single to promote the project in the country;[3] the official single from Live in Hollywood everywhere else was "No Pares".
Composition and lyrics
edit"Aún Hay Algo" is a latin pop and teen pop that runs for three minutes and 34 seconds. It was written by Carlos Lara and Karen Sokoloff, with production from Pedro Damián. The song is structured in verse-pre-chorus-chorus form, with a bridge between the last two choruses. The voice of Mexican singer-songwriter Lynda Thomas is heard during the pre-chorus and chorus, and also doing harmonies for Christopher during his solo and for Dulce during the bridge.
The first verse is sung by Dulce María and Alfonso; the former feels that "there's something growing" between her and her lover, while the latter says that they "have a past, that maybe won't happen to us again". On the pre-chorus, Anahí and Christian state that even though "there is a goodbye difficult to forget" there's "also a love that can do miracles". During the chorus, Anahí, Dulce, and Christian are hopeful that their respective ex-partners "think of [them]" and "maybe between the two, there's still some love". In the second verse, Maite believes that "there's old feelings" between her and her ex-lover, while Christopher acknowledges that they "have a story, that left us in the middle of loneliness". During the bridge, Dulce begs her ex-partner to "look at [her] well", as she's "dying, to find [him] within [her]", and asks him to listen to her, before claiming "I don't how how to live without you".[4]
Chart performance
editThe song debuted at number 36 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, as a 'Hot Shot Debut' in early March 2006. The song later peaked at number 24 in April 2006.
