SONG MEANING

Feel the warmth of pure devotion! In Ámame, Quiéreme, Selena pours her heart out in a joyful plea for affection.

By calling her beloved la luz que ilumina mi vida (the light that illuminates my life) and la dueña de mi corazón (the owner of my heart), Selena celebrates the way true love can guide us, comfort us, and make everything brighter.

At its core, the song is an invitation to share unconditional love. Selena promises that if she is loved in return, she will give todos mis besos and todo mi cariño—every kiss and all her affection. The steady repetition of Ámame, quiéreme (Love me, want me) turns the chorus into an irresistible mantra, reminding listeners that deep, mutual care is a gift worth singing about again and again. Dance along and feel the passion that makes every embrace feel brand-new!
