"Pero Me Acuerdo de Ti" is a song written and produced by Rudy Pérez. It was first recorded by Puerto Rican singer Lourdes Robles on her album Definitivamente (1991). In the ballad, the singer remembers her lover even when she tries to forget. Nine years later, American recording artist Christina Aguilera included a cover version on her second studio album Mi Reflejo which Pérez also produced. It was released as the second single from the album in December 2000.
Release and reception[]
"Pero Me Acuerdo de Ti" was serviced to Latin radio stations the second week of December 2000 in the United States. It reached number eight on Hot Latin Songs and five on Hot Latin Pop Songs in the US. In Spain, it reached number three on the country's singles chart. Kurt B. Reighley from Wall of Sound was positive toward the song, saying that Aguilera is "persuasive and engaging" on the song. Orlando Sentinel editor Perry Gettelman was not impressed, writing that "She seems equally fond of acrobatic trills and low, sex-kittenish moans". Writing for the Billboard magazine, Lucas Villa provided a supporting commentary and called the ballad "heartbreaking". At the 2nd Latin Grammy Awards, "Pero Me Acuerdo de Ti" received a Latin Grammy nomination for Record of the Year which went to Alejandro Sanz for "El Alma al Aire". It has been called "one of Aguilera's greatest hits" by Rolling Stone en Español.

Lyrics[]
Ahora que ya mi vida se encuentra normal
Que tengo en casa quien sueña con verme llegar
Ahora puedo decir que me encuentro de pie
Ahora que me va muy bien
Ahora que con el tiempo logré superar
Aquel amor que por poco me llega a matar, no
Ahora ya no hay más dolor
Ahora al fin vuelvo a ser yo
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y otra vez pierdo la calma
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y se me desgarra el alma
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y se borra mi sonrisa
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y mi mundo se hace trizas
Ahora que mi futuro comienza a brillar
Ahora que me han devuelto la seguridad
Ahora ya no hay más dolor
Ahora al fin vuelvo a ser yo
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y otra vez pierdo la calma
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y se me desgarra el alma
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y se borra mi sonrisa
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y mi mundo se hace trizas
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Y se me desgarra el alma
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Mi sonrisa
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Mi mundo trizas
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Oh, pero me, pero me, pero me
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Pero me acuerdo de ti
Pero me acuerdo de ti
