I remember she had this CD that had a mix of songs from different artists. This song takes me back to being home, and my mom used to have this music system and she’d blast this song while cleaning the house. And when I heard the melody on this song by Chayanne, I was like, ‘Wow, this is beautiful.’ I’d always learn the melody first and then the lyrics. But if I have to pick one, I’ll choose ‘Dejaría Todo.’ When I was growing up in Cuba, I remember I didn’t understand the lyrics to this song but I did love the melody.

Sin Bandera inspired me to get to where, so it’s a full-circle moment. We did a cover of ‘Entra En Mi Vida’ so for it to be included in this album, that’s pretty special. Since it was two of us, we followed and looked up to Sin Bandera since they were a duo. “This song is very special because I met a friend in school who played the guitar and so we teamed up to sing together. But it turned out pretty good, we’re happy with it.”īelow, CNCO - Christopher, Erick, Joel, Richard and Zabdiel - break down six tracks on their tribute album Deja Vu, which drops Feb. “I think mainly because we always wanted the essence of the melody to remain and since this is a salsa song and we wanted to make it urban, it was challenging. “We recorded that song like three times,” Zabdiel says. The most challenging song to record: “La Quiero A Morir.” “When we’d see their messages, it felt good because in a way they approved of our recording and gave us their blessing. It’s a gratifying feeling to know that they’re happy with our style and the way we did their song,” Richard tells Billboard.
