Music Video[]
An accompanying music video for "Hoy Tengo Ganas de Ti" was directed by Simon Brand, and was premiered through Vevo on July 19, 2013. Amaris Castilloof of Latina summarized that Fernández and Aguilera "appear to be in an abandoned mansion and overwhelmed with a tremendous desire for each other." She provided a mixed review for the video, questioning if the "glimpses of skin touching, scenes of someone swimming (we have no idea who) with luxurious pearls, and a cheesy telenovela-esque embrace" were overdone.
Writing for Idolator, Mike Wass gave a positive review for the clip, opining that "[Aguilera's] stunning curves steal the show and she clearly relishes her role as a steamy seductress." Carolyn Menyes from Mstarz commented that it "lives up to the dramatic nature of the song and the telenovela for which it was performed", adding that "the wistful looks seem straight out of Telemundo." Entropy Studio made the music video postproduction between Los Ángeles and Zaragoza. The music video was nominated for Video of the Year at the 2014 Lo Nuestro Awards ceremony but lost to "Propuesta Indecente" by Romeo Santos.

Lyrics[]
Fuiste ave de paso y no sé por qué razón
Me fui acostumbrando cada día más a ti
Los dos inventamos la aventura del amor
Llenaste mi vida, y después te vi partir
Sin decirme adiós, yo te vi partir
Quiero en tus manos abiertas buscar mi camino
Y que te sientas mujer solamente conmigo
Hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti
Quiero apagar en tus labios la sed de mi alma
Y descubrir el amor juntos cada mañana
Hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti
No hay nada más triste que el silencio y el dolor
Nada más amargo quе saber que te pеrdí
Hoy busco en la noche el sonido de tu voz
Y dónde te escondes, para llenarte de mí
Llenarme de ti, llenarme de ti
Quiero en tus manos abiertas buscar mi camino
Y que te sientas mujer solamente conmigo
Hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti
Quiero apagar en tus labios la sed de mi alma
Y descubrir el amor juntos cada mañana
Hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti
[Interludio Instrumental]
Quiero en tus manos abiertas buscar mi camino
Y que te sientas mujer solamente conmigo
Hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti
Solamente conmigo
Hoy tengo ganas de ti, hoy tengo ganas de ti
