Motivation is a studio album released by Bertín Osborne in 1989.[1] It was the first (and to date, only) all-English-language release from the popular Spanish singer.[2] The album was recorded in Miami, Florida, at Criteria Studios and Middle Ear Recording Studio.[3]

Despite Osborne's popularity in Spain, the disc was not officially released in his home country, though it was available as an import.[2][4]
