chart dated June 26 -- just a few months after the two met for the very first time.
The Spanish version, written by Ignacio Ballestros, covers “Non Amarmi” by Giancarlo Bigazzi, Marco Falagiani and Aleandro Baldi. It was recorded for Baldi’s albumalongside Francesca Alotta in 1993, which won them the Newcomers award at the Sanremo Music Festival in 1992. “For us, it was a big surprise,” Falagiani tells. “We knew that Marc Anthony was in love with Giancarlo Bigazzi’s songs, and I think that was how Marc introduced the song to J.Lo.
Breaking down the borders and connecting their cultural and social backgrounds, the recording process of “No Me Ames” began, approached as a pop tune with a Latin overtone that was reflected through the use of nylon-string guitars. “There is a unique tone in Latin music, especially in traditional classical and flamenco music,” Shea says. “In pop and rock, the sound is sweet and rich and sometimes really high notes come into play, and I definitely wanted more of that same sound in this song.
