Review

This song is a story of a man who finds a woman, and falls in love with her. The singer describes how, when he first saw her, his questions were answered. So, it's a Latin pop song that really strikes the heart, because it has a deeper sentimental meaning: how love needs a humble attitude submission and devotion and how it requires sacrifice, as the artist points out in the lyrics.

It makes me feel cheerful. It's an upbeat song and it personally brings me joy.

The song “Valió la pena” by Marc Anthony is a salsa song that expresses the joy and gratitude of finding true love after overcoming difficulties. The title means “It was worth it” in Spanish 1, and the lyrics convey how the singer feels inspired, devoted, and blessed by his partner. He also describes how he enjoys every moment with her, and how he has no regrets about anything he did to be with her.

The song makes me feel happy and hopeful, as it shows that love can overcome any obstacle and make life more meaningful. The artist weaves the story by using personal pronouns (“me”, “te”, “tu”), metaphors (“mi casa esta en tu piel”, “viniste a ser mi religión”), and repetition (“valió la pena”). He also uses rhetorical exclamations (“que vivan los momentos en tu boca y en tu cuerpo”) to express his emotions.

To answer the How, Where, When, Who & What technique questions, I would say:

How does he feel about his partner? He feels tender love, devotion, admiration, gratitude, and passion for her.
Where does he find his inspiration and comfort? He finds them in her eyes, words, skin, mouth, and body.
When did he realize that it was worth it? He realized it after going through a hard time (the storm) and finding peace in her chest.
Who is his partner? She is a woman who came to be his religion (his reason for living) and his blessing (his source of happiness).
What did he do to be with her? He did anything that was necessary (he does not specify what), but he implies that it involved some sacrifice or effort.

This song is not explicit at all. It is an incredibly romantic song. It would be a profanity to call it that, since it certainly roots in true love and healthy sensuality (and it's also a great tune).

The videoclip portrays a street latin party, with people dancing and the singer performing the song.
