In 2002, Sanz recorded "MTV Unplugged" at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, Florida. He was the first Spanish artist to record and release an "MTV Unplugged" album. For Sanz, the recording of the album "changed the way I do my music. It was a rediscovery of how to perform, and also how to record, music with live musicians. That was the spirit of the music in its pure form, though is ironic that the more people who are playing, the more simple it is." With the "MTV Unplugged", he garnered three Latin Grammy Awards (Album of the Year, Recording of the Year and Song of the Year for "Y Sólo Se Me Ocurre Amarte"). At the 2002 Grammy Awards, Sanz performed "Quisiera Ser" as a duet with Destiny's Child, with both Spanish lyrics and English lyric adaptation "I'd Like To Be Your Laughter".
