"Falta Amor" (transl. "There's No Love") is a song recorded by Colombian singee Sebastián Yatra and Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin.[2] The song was released by Universal Music Latin Entertainment on March 26, 2020.[3]
Background
The song, written by Yatra with producers Andrés Torres and Mauricio Rengifo, is a remake of the original solo track included on Yatra’s ballad album Fantasía (2020). The new "Falta Amor" will serve as a prelude of sorts to the Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin Live in Concert, which kicks off in September with Yatra slated as the opener.[4]
"Singing with Ricky Martin is just insane," Yatra said of their collaboration in a statement. "I would have never thought it possible in [this] lifetime. It’s huge not only as a Latino, but for any person that loves music."[5]
Critical reception
Redacción Shock from Shock gave the song a positive review, saying "Falta Amor" "is an urban ballad with a powerful rock ending. Both singers are great pop performers and they make it clear on this track.
"I'd rather die of love than love be missing me" is one of the lines of the song and the lyrical composition focuses on a painful statement for a person who refuses to open his heart and let himself be loved."[6]
Music Video
The music video was released alongside the song on 26 March 2020 and directed by Carlos Pérez.
The two front a rock band inside a bombed-out factory, and gently lament a love gone unreciprocated. Masked dancers writhe across the wreckage to emphasize the emotional toil.[7]
