Enloqueciendo is the present progressive form of the verb enloquecer, which means "to go crazy" or "to drive someone crazy". It comes from the root word loco (crazy).
In the song, Enrique Iglesias sings, "Ese fuego por dentro me va enloqueciendo" (That fire inside is driving me crazy). He uses this powerful, dramatic word to describe the intense, all-consuming passion and desire he feels, which is a central theme of this energetic dance track.
Spanish pop star Enrique Iglesias teams up with Descemer Bueno and Gente De Zona for a track all about overwhelming physical attraction on the dance floor. The narrator spots someone across the room and completely loses his cool: "Yo te miro y se me corta la respiraciĂłn" ("I look at you and my breath catches"). The song builds on this rush of excitement, describing how physical attraction feels like a scientific cocktail mixed with party drinks: "Con tu fĂsica y tu quĂmica, tambiĂ©n tu anatomĂa / La cerveza y el tequila y tu boca con la mĂa" ("With your physics and your chemistry, also your anatomy / The beer and the tequila and your mouth with mine"). It is blunt, direct, and completely hooked on the moment.
Everything in the track builds toward spending a wild night together. Iglesias and his collaborators sing "tener contigo una noche loca / Con tremenda nota" ("to have a crazy night with you / with a massive high"). In Cuban and Caribbean slang, "tremenda nota" means catching a huge buzz or being completely swept away by party energy. Through the rhythm and heat, the narrator feels practically overwhelmed ("Ya no puedo más" / "I can't take it anymore"), begging for the night never to end so the dancing can continue.
Enrique Iglesias shopped his first demos around Madrid under the name Enrique MartĂnez, so that no label would sign him for being Julio Iglesias's son. Fonovisa signed him anyway and flew him to Toronto, where he recorded Enrique Iglesias (1995) in near anonymity. All five of its singles, "Si TĂş Te Vas" and "Experiencia Religiosa" among them, reached number one on Billboard's Latin chart, and the album won the 1997 Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album.
Enrique (1999) moved him onto English-language radio, with "Bailamos" and "Be with You" both topping the Hot 100, and Escape (2001) sold past eight million copies on the back of "Hero". The chart he owns outright is Hot Latin Songs: 27 number ones, more than any other artist, plus the two longest runs at the top in its history, "Bailando" with Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona at 41 weeks in 2014 and "El PerdĂłn" with Nicky Jam at 30 weeks in 2015. He wound the recording career down on his own terms, calling Final (Vol. 1) in 2021 and Final (Vol. 2) in 2024 his last albums.
