“Úsame” invites us into a whirlwind of late–night longing, where Marc Anthony becomes the willing accomplice to a secret affair. The singer speaks directly to someone nursing heartbreak, begging her to “use” him as a temporary cure. He offers his shirt as a tissue for her tears, his arms as a refuge, and even asks her to blur the lines by confusing him with the man she truly loves. It is a bold, dramatic plea that mixes passion with a touch of self-sacrifice, all wrapped in Marc Anthony’s signature salsa intensity.
Beneath the catchy rhythm lies a bittersweet confession: he knows the romance has an expiration date at dawn, yet he is ready to risk everything for a few stolen moments. The lyrics explore themes of desire, infidelity, and emotional escape, painting the picture of a lover who would rather be a fleeting remedy than be forgotten entirely. “Úsame” is both seductive and melancholic, a song about embracing temporary love to soothe permanent pain.
