Enrique Iglesias (born Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler; May 8, 1975) is a Spanish singer, songwriter and occasional actor, popular in both the Latin market and the Hispanic American market in the United States. He is the son of the famous Spanish singer Julio Iglesias. Within five years of beginning his musical career in the 1990s, he became the biggest seller of Spanish-language albums of that decade. He made his crossover into the mainstream English language market before the turn of the millennium, signing a multi-album deal with Universal Music Group for an unprecedented US$50,000,000 with Universal Music Latino to release his Spanish albums and Interscope to release English albums. In 2010, he parted with Interscope and signed with another Universal Music Group label, Universal Republic.
Iglesias has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best selling Spanish language artists of all time. He has had five Billboard Hot 100 top five singles, including two number-ones, and holds the record for producing 22 number-one Spanish-language singles on the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. He has also had ten number-one songs on Billboard's Dance charts, more than any other single male artist. Altogether, Iglesias has amassed 55 number-one hits on the various Billboard charts. Billboard has called him The King of Latin Pop and The King of Dance. Billboard also named Enrique the number two Latin artist of the years 1986–2011 (Luis Miguel taking the first spot).
You gotta get up in the morning
No matter what happened last night
He ripped your heart out without warning
But there’s only one thing to do
No matter what you’re going through
Get up out of bed
Right foot left foot moving
Get out of your head
Soon you’ll be improving
You’d see the sun outside is shining
If you would only open your eyes
Haven’t you heard of silver lining
And if he never felt that way
Why would you want him to stay
When you have come so far
From the place you started
Just be the girl you are
Although you’re broken hearted
Deep down you knew that it was wrong
That little voice was telling you the truth
He was an asshole all along
And now you hear it loud and clear
Screaming right in to your ear
Get up out of bed
Right foot left foot moving
Get out of your head
Soon you’ll be improving
And it doesn’t matter why he’s gone
It only matters that he’s gone
And soon it’s plain to see
That you’re better than that
So get out your bat
And bash his memory
You gotta get up every morning
Even if it has to be alone
He ripped your heart out without warning
But now you have the whole day on your own
