He holds the Guinness World Record for best-selling tropical/salsa artist and the most number-one albums on the Billboard Tropical Albums year-end charts.

"You Sang to Me" is a 2000 hit song by Marc Anthony, and was released as the third single of his first English language album Marc Anthony.

The song was written and produced by Marc Anthony and Cory Rooney, and like the previous English single from Marc Anthony also a Spanish version was recorded, but wasn't included on the first edition of the album. Both versions of the track were very successful in the United States. The English version peaked at even higher than "I Need to Know", climbing to number 2 in the Billboard Hot 100, kept off from the top slot by "Maria Maria" by Santana featuring The Product G&B. It also spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard adult contemporary chart. The Spanish version ("Muy Dentro de Mi") hit No. 1 on the Hot Latin Tracks chart for 3 consecutive weeks. According to Anthony, he wrote this song for his then-friend Jennifer Lopez, whom he married soon after. This version was nominated for a Lo Nuestro Award for Pop Song of the Year, losing to "A Puro Dolor" by Son by Four.

The English-language version of the track received a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, the second year in a row for Marc Anthony, losing once again to Sting with "She Walks This Earth (Soberana Rosa)", a collaboration for the album A Love Affair: The music of Ivan Lins.

"You Sang to Me" was included on the compilation album pLATINum rhythm, released on October 30, 2001 by Maverick Música. It is also included on the movie soundtrack for the 1999 hit movie Runaway Bride, winning an ASCAP award in the field "Most Performed Songs from Motion Pictures" for this collaboration.

I just wanted you to comfort me

When I called you late last night you see

I was falling into love

Yes I was crashing into love

Of all the words you said to me

About Life, The Truth, and Being Free

Yeah you sang to me

Oh how you sang to me

Girl I live for how you make me feel

So I question all this being real

Cause I'm not afraid of love

For the first time I'm not afraid to love

This day seems made for you and me

And you showed me what life needs to be

Yeah you sang to me

Oh you sang to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized

I just can't believe I didn't see it In your eyes

I didn't see it, I can't believe it

Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies

And I promise you this time I'll see it in your eyes

I didn't see it, I can't believe it

Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

Just to think you live inside of me

I had no idea how this could be

Now I'm crazy for your love

Can't believe I'm crazy for your love

The words you said just sang to me

And you showed me where I wanna be

You sang to me

Oh you sang to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized

I just can't believe I didn't see it In your eyes

I didn't see it, I can't believe it

Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies

And I promise you this time I'll see it In your eyes

I didn't see it, I can't believe it

Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized

I just can't believe I didn't see it In your eyes

I didn't see it, I can't believe it

Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies

And I promise you this time I'll see it In your eyes

I didn't see it, I can't believe it

Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

All the while you were in front of me I never realized

I just can't believe I didn't see it In your eyes

I didn't see it, I can't believe it

Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me

How I long to hear you sing beneath the clear blue skies

And I promise you this time I'll see it In your eyes

I didn't see it, I can't believe it

Oh but I feel it, when you sing to me.
