Se me olvidó todo al verte

This song is not just another track on 3 by Alejandro Sanz, but one of those moments where the lyrics and melody come together to tell something we’ve all felt: the vertigo of losing control when someone special appears. What’s most surprising is how the chorus — that "I forgot everything when I saw you" — manages to summarize in a single phrase what many try to explain in entire pages. The original recording, from 1995, captured that intensity unfiltered, as if time had stopped in the studio so that every note and every whisper could be recorded with the same urgency as a thought written in the middle of the night.

The album 3 was not a simple release: it was the record that solidified Alejandro Sanz beyond Spain, bringing his music to Latin America and Europe with versions in Portuguese and Italian. This song, with its 4:42 duration, became one of the official singles alongside others like The Strength of the Heart or My Loneliness and Me, and though it wasn’t the most promoted, its power remained etched in the memory of those who heard it. In 2006, a reissue of the album included a DVD with the singles’ videos, but the song kept its essence intact, as if time had not passed for that musical confession.
