Song history[]

The last single released from the successful album Alma Caribeña was "Por Un Beso". Though it was not as successful on the charts as the previous singles, it became a popular Spanish song for Estefan.

This song is a theatrical ballad which talks about the betrayal of a lover through a simple kiss, the main idea of the song is the infidelity. After the betrayal made by her lover, she still does not hate him, though she does not want to be with him anymore.

The song became popular among Latin American audiences, and was performed live at a special concert by Estefan at the Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, in which the choreography was theatrically arranged to match the song. In Mexico, due to its popularity, a Mexican telenovela was created under the same name of the song.^[1]

A "tropical" version of the song was released, and is only available as a compilation, released in Spain, which features various artists.
