Recuerdo (song)

"Recuerdo" (transl. "Memory") is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin with Mexican singer Carla Morrison for Martin's first extended play, Pausa (2020). The song was written by Morrison, Demián Jiménez, Martin, Chiara Stroia, and Alejandro Jiménez, while the production was handled by Demián and Alejandro Jiménez. It was released to Latin American radio stations by Sony Music Latin on July 23, 2020, as the only promotional single from the EP. A Spanish language ballad and pop song, it calls for an introspection of the mind and soul, and throughout it they sing of the aching longing for a lost love.

"Recuerdo" received widely positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its lyrics, production, and their complementary vocal styles. It was ranked as one of the "15 Best Female-Male Latin Collaborations of 2020" by Billboard. The song reached the top 10 in Martin's native Puerto Rico, and the top 15 on the US Latin Pop Airplay chart. It was also certified gold in Mexico. The accompanying music video was directed by Carlos Perez. To promote the song, Martin and Morrison performed it on several television programs and award shows, including the 2020 Latin Grammy Awards.
