"Pero Dile" (English: "But Say It") is a song written and performed by Puerto Rican singer Víctor Manuelle on his sixth studio album, Inconfundible(1999), and was released as the lead single from the album.[1] It became his eighth number one song on the Tropical Airplay chart and spent 11 weeks at this position.[2] Lyrically, the singers tells his former lover to "go ahead and tell everyone he was a rotten lover and everything was his fault" and admits that "Maybe it was my mistake to love you so much."[3] In spite of giving the album a mixed review, AllMusic critic José A.Estévez, Jr. cited it as one of the songs from "forceful, dynamic singer".[1] Parry Gettelman praised the song as "graceful as it is catchy, and the lyrics are humorously bitter."[3] It was nominated "Tropical/Salsa Hot Track of the Year" at the 2000 Latin Billboard Music Awards, but lost to "El Niágara en Bicicleta" by Juan Luis Guerra.[4] In 2000, it was recognized as one of the best-performing songs of the year at the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers Awards under the salsa category.[5]
