“Obsesión” is a song by Dominican-American bachata band Aventura with Judy Santos as the female vocalist. It was included on their second studio album, We Broke the Rules (2002), and an English-language version was made for the same album. The song achieved success in many countries, topping many international charts. In France, the song held the number-one slot on the French Singles Chart for seven weeks, and as of August 2014, it is the 19th-best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 565,000 units sold. A radio remix of the song was added to the 2004 special edition version of Love & Hate, which was exclusively released in Italy.
In 2004, the song was covered by 3rd Wish featuring Baby Bash and production from Mintman on their album Reflections of the South. This version was less successful than the original version but still reached number seven in Switzerland, number five in Germany, number two in Austria and number 12 in France. Later, in 2005, Mexican-American singer Frankie J made an English and more soul-styled version of the song, also featuring Baby Bash, called “Obsession (No Es Amor)” for his album The One. This version was successful in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, reaching the top five in all three countries.
