The story behind
Volverte a ver, according to DoReSol
The song Volverte a ver, penned by Colombian singer-songwriter Juanes, immerses us in the deep longing of a Colombian soldier. The lyrics capture the desire to reunite with his wife and relive the lost happiness amid the adversity of war. This track is the second promotional single from the album Mi sangre, released in 2004, following Nada valgo sin tu amor. The piece, lasting approximately 3 minutes and 38 seconds, falls under the genres of rock ballads and pop ballads, and its impact was reflected in the charts, reaching the top position in the Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Songs categories on Billboard.
The production of Volverte a ver featured collaborations with figures such as Aníbal Kerpel and Gustavo Santaolalla, while the recording engineering was handled by Juanes himself. The final mix was completed by Dave Heuer and Thom Russo. The music video accompanying the song, directed by Gustavo A. Garzón and produced by Cecilia Sagredo, was awarded a Latin Grammy in the category of Best Short Form Music Video in 2005. It intertwines romantic scenes between Juanes and a woman, with visual elements such as paintings, the Tree of Life, and representations of the artist faceless or playing the guitar, alongside personal photographs. The album Mi sangre, which includes this track, was released on September 28, 2004, and later had a numbered special edition in 2005, featuring live versions of other hits like A Dios le Pido and La Camisa Negra, as well as additional tracks.
