"You Sang to Me" is a song recorded by American singer Marc Anthony for his self-titled fourth studio album (1999). Cory Rooney produced the recording and co-wrote the song with Anthony. "You Sang to Me" is a mid-tempo, pop and romantic ballad that includes elements of Latin, R&B, and adult contemporary genres whose lyrics are about a man who lets his life partner walk away although he is in a relationship with another person. Anthony also recorded a Spanish-language version of the song titled "Muy Dentro de Mí", which has additional lyrical contributions by Roberto Blades and Gaitanes.
Music critics gave "You Sang to Me" a positive reception upon its release, praising Anthony's vocals and the song's arrangements. Anthony received several accolades, including a Grammy nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2001. The song reached number one on the American and Canadian adult contemporary charts, and the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It also peaked within the top 10 in Austria, Belgium (Flanders region), the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Norway. It was certified gold in Austria, Norway, and Sweden. "Muy Dentro de Mí" topped the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Tropical Airplay charts.
Anthony included the song on the set lists of his 1999 promotional tour, Marc Anthony 2002 Tour, and El Cantante Tour (2007–08). Jeff Richter directed the music video for "You Sang to Me", which was filmed in New York City, features Australian model Kristy Hinze, and portrays Anthony as a painter who falls in love with his assistant.
