After the success of "Ricky Martin" and its subsequent tour, Martin's record company met him with acclaimed producer Juan Carlos Calderón on his second solo album "Me Amaras". Although Martin felt "very grateful" for the opportunity to work with Calderón, he noted, "I always felt that that record was more his than mine." Released in May 1993, "Me Amaras" features a Spanish-language cover of the Laura Branigan song "Self Control", titled "Que Dia Es Hoy". In his review, Alex Henderson of AllMusic wrote, "The CD isn't without its pleasures...but on the whole, "Me Amaras" is too glossy, too calculated, and much too contrived for its own good."
