"Tal Vez" (transl. "Perhaps") is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin for his seventh studio album, Almas del Silencio (2003). The song was written by Venezuelan singer-songwriter Franco De Vita, while the production was handled by Tommy Torres. It was released to radio stations by Sony Discos as the lead single from the album on March 25, 2003. A Spanish language rock ballad, it is a romantic song about regret, lost opportunities, and last chances. The song received widely positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its melody, lyrics, and Martin's vocals. It was ranked as one of the Top Latin Songs of the Century by Latin Times.

"Tal Vez" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 4th Annual Latin Grammy Awards and won the awards for Hot Latin Song of the Year and Latin Pop Airplay Track of the Year, Male at the 2004 Latin Billboard Music Awards. The song was commercially successful, reaching number one in Argentina, Chile, Central America, Mexico and Venezuela, as well as Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks, Latin Pop Airplay, and Tropical Airplay charts in the United States. It spent a total of 11 non-consecutive weeks atop the Hot Latin Tracks chart, surpassing "Livin' la Vida Loca" as Martin's longest number-one single on the chart, and was the longest-running number one of 2003.

The accompanying music video was filmed in La Boca near Buenos Aires, and directed by Kacho López and Carlos Pérez. It depicts the daily life of the residents of a building, including the singer. To promote the song, Martin performed it at the 2003 Latin Billboard Music Awards. The track was also included on the set lists for the One Night Only with Ricky Martin tour, the Black and White Tour, the Live in Mexico tour, the One World Tour, and the Ricky Martin en Concierto.

Background and release

Ricky Martin released his fifth studio album and English-language debut, Ricky Martin in 1999, which became his biggest commercial success, selling over 15 million copies worldwide. It was followed by another English album, Sound Loaded in 2000. He initially planned to release the third English-language album as his seventh studio album, which was supposed to be his first album in which he wrote or co-wrote all songs. Despite Martin and Sony Music Entertainment's original plan, he decided to release a Spanish-language album:

I woke up five months ago, and I said 'We're doing an album in Spanish.' Everyone went nuts. They said, 'You don't have time; you have to release an album in English because of timing issues with your career.' And that's fine. But I told them, 'In five months, you'll have a kick-ass album' .

He finished working on the album on March 8, 2003. Two days later, his then manager Angelo Medina talked about the album in an interview with El Nuevo Día. He revealed the album's title as Almas del Silencio, mentioning that it has been set for release in May. "Tal Vez" was released to radio stations as the lead single from the album on March 25, 2003. In Mexico, it was launched as a promotional CD single on the same date. Medina explained to Billboard that they asked Venezuelan singer-songwriter Franco De Vita to write the song, since "he's a composer that knows Ricky well; they have a connection". De Vita had previously composed Martin's 1998 song "Vuelve". "Tal Vez" was included as the second track on Martin's seventh studio album, Almas del Silencio, released May 20, 2003. The track was also later added to Martin's compilation albums 17 (2008), Personalidad (2015), and Esencial (2018). A salsa version of the song was recorded and was later included on the compilation album Baladas en Salsa (2004).

Music and lyrics

Musically, "Tal Vez" is a Spanish language rock ballad with a piano and string instruments. The track was produced by Puerto Rican musician Tommy Torres and runs for a total of 4 minutes and 39 seconds. According to the song's sheet music on Musicnotes.com, "Tal Vez" is composed in the key of B major with a groove of 58 beats per minute. Martin's vocals span from the low note of D₄ to the high note of G₅. Lyrically, "Tal Vez", which translates to "Perhaps" in English, is a romantic song about regret and is an "aching reflection on lost opportunities and last chances", according to the Los Angeles Times. The lyrics include, "Tal vez nunca te he dado lo que tu esperabas / Y no estaba cuando me necesitabas / Tal vez no te escuché / Tal vez me descuide / Tal vez se me olvido que yo te amaba" (Maybe I've never given you what you expected / And I wasn't there when you needed me / Maybe I didn't listen to you / Maybe I neglected you / Maybe I forgot that I loved you).

Critical reception

"Tal Vez" was met with widely positive reviews from music critics. Leila Cobo from Billboard described its melody as "soaring" and "catchy", explaining its lyrics as "simple - yet not simplistic". She also complimented Martin's vocals for being "raspier and more earnest than on past albums". An author of Daily News labeled it "a classy romantic ballad", and Miami Herald's Jordan Levin named it "a soaring ballad". An author of Radio Cooperativa described it as Martin's "most intense ballad". Writing for the El Paso Times, Melissa Martinez noted its similarity with previous ballads and stated: "The heartache just seeps through each word and leaves you wanting to reach out and make it all better." Mario Tarradell of The Herald-News gave the song a positive review, saying it is "an undeniable hit, a sweeping ballad that never turns cloying". An editor for El Tiempo likened Martin recording the salsa version of the song to trying on a different shirt size. Carlos Mario Castro from El Sabanero X named "Tal Vez" Martin's third-best song, mentioning that it "undoubtedly rescues the values inherent in the singer's Puerto Rican origin", following his crossover to English. In 2015, Univision staff ranked the track as Martin's eighth-best ballad, while Claudia González Alvarado from Chilango ranked it as his seventh-best ballad in 2021, naming it one of Martin's "most classic songs". MTV Argentina also ranked it as one of his best songs in 2020. In his review for Vogue in 2021, Esteban Villaseñor ranked the song among Martin's most popular songs.
