Cariño (song)
"Cariño" (English: Dear) is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez for her second studio album J.Lo (2001). It was released as a promotional single from the album.
Writing and production
Guillermo Edghill Jr chose to create an interpolatation of Mongo Santamaria's "Sofrito", to whose music Edghill Jr had been introduced as a child by his father Guillermo Edghill who had played bass on three albums and toured live with Santamaría from the 70s throughout the 90s. The original track was composed and arranged by Edghill Jr and the other members of the production team Swing Central Station, Jose Sanchez and Frank Rodriguez, and presented to Jennifer Lopez & Tommy Mottola by Jose Sanchez. Lopez & Mottola went crazy for the mambo-infused track and immediately started discussing song concepts and writing ideas.
However, it took "forever" to develop, according to Lopez, who stated: "I couldn't write it, Cory [Rooney] couldn't write it. We had other people try to write it. No one could write this damn song." Eventually, Manny Benito was brought in to contribute to the song's lyrics.
