Will review soon. Skyshiftertalk 22:29, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

General comments, infobox and lead

The single cover has a valid fair use rationale, though some texts were apparently duplicated and even quadruplicated, so I've fixed that.
No copyvio (search without search engine due to error 429)
The infobox uses "BMG U.S. Latin" but the article uses "US" instead of "U.S."
"by Mexican singer" → "by the Mexican singer" (WP:FALSETITLE)

Background and composition

Link the first occurrence of Cristian Castro in "Background and composition"
"by Colombian musician" → "by the Colombian musician" (WP:FALSETITLE)
"Although the album was met with mixed reviews, it achieved multi-platinum status and was named Latin pop artist of 2000 US by Billboard" — what does "2000 US" mean? Also, you should clarify that Castro was named "Latin pop artist of 2000 US", not the album. "Billboard" should also be italicized.
Link "rock" to rock music and experimental music to itself.
"and an English-language disc of cover versions" — cover versions of what specifically?
I see that some lyrics are mentioned — does any source give any interpretation or opinion on them or do they just mention them?

Promotion and release

"scenes Castro" → "scenes of Castro"
"on the 50 Best Latin Pop Songs From 2000 to 2023" → "on their list of the 50 best Latin pop songs between 2000 and 2023"
"nominated in the category of Latin Pop Airplay of the Year" → "nominated for Latin Pop Airplay of the Year"
"but ultimately lost" → "but lost"
"it was nominated Pop Song of the Year at Lo Nuestro Awards" → "it was nominated for Pop Song of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards"
but also lost to "Abrázame Muy Fuerte" → "but lost to the same song"
"Santander was awarded for the track" — awarded what?
"reached the apex" seems quite metaphorical, recommend just "reached the top"
"where it spent" → "spending"
