"Déjame Entrar"
Song

"Déjame Entrar" ("Let Me In") is a song released by Colombian recording artist Carlos Vives as the first single from his fifth major studio album of the same title in 2001. The song was written by Martín Madera, Andrés Castro and Vives, and produced by Emilio Estefan and Sebastian Krys and became Vives' second number-one hit in the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart following "Fruta Fresca" two years prior. At the 3rd Latin Grammy Awards, Vives was the performer with the highest number of nominations, with six.[1] "Déjame Entrar" was nominated for Record and Song of the Year, and won for Best Tropical Song.[2][3]

Critical reception

Diego Bonacich of Allmusic named the song one of the best included on Déjame Entrar.[4] About the songs included on his album, Vives said: "I always have a fusion of rhythms, which I have already hinted on my previous albums. When I make music, I work with cumbia, vallenato, with all the Caribbean rhythms from northern Colombia, it is very difficult to escape the 'trulla', the Puerto-Rican plena, the Cuban son and Dominican merengue, because they are relatives."[5] The singer also mentioned that the song was a vallenato/pop music blend.[6] The track was later included on the compilation album 2002 Latin Grammy Nominees, which peaked at number five in the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.[7]
