The ballad is about a "confessional moment, a vow to stay in love through the passage of time and other lovers."^[4] According to Iglesias: "It is one of the songs that I have sent the most joy and sadness when writing. Say that there are times in life, this sounds very philosophical, what do you know that there are people you meet and you end up loving them very much, but you know that no matter how much you love them you will not be able to be together; due to circumstances, ways of being or because you are very different, they are one of those people that you will never, ever to be able to forget".^[5] The ballad is backed by a piano and a "cinematic" orchestra while Iglesias performs with a falsetto.^[6]
