"Tu Amor" (English: "Your Love") is a song written by Diane Warren for Jon B.'s album Cool Relax.

RBD version

}}{{#if:"Wanna Play"

"Tu Amor" was later covered by Mexican pop group RBD. It was the first single released from their fourth and first all-English studio album, Rebels (2006).^[1] The song was composed by Diane Warren. The lead vocals on "Tu Amor" are sung only by Christian Chávez, while the rest of the group provides background vocals on the choruses. "Tu Amor" is a romantic song with a melodic pop style and Latin music influences. The single continued to open doors for RBD, since it had great success in various parts of the world like Japan, Romania, Slovenia, Israel, Russia, and France, where the group won an award for the song.

Release

According to writer Diane Warren^[2] and Mediabase, the song was released to American radio on September 22, 2006, after having been leaked to the Internet before its release date. "Tu Amor" officially debuted on the On Air with Ryan Seacrest radio morning show on KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, California.^[3] According to AllMusic,^[4] the single was released on CD in the United States on November 24, 2006. The song was later featured on the telenovela Rebelde when it was aired on TV5 in the Philippines.

Music video

The music video for "Tu Amor" was shot on a beach in Los Angeles, California. MTV Tres premiered the video on October 23, 2006, where it made its debut at number six on the Mi TRL music video countdown. The video was also aired on MTV Hits. The video shows the group enjoying a day at the beach singing and having fun, and later having a cozy bonfire at night. Fans noticed that there were only solo shots of band member Christopher in the video, not being shown together with the rest of the group. This was due to the fact that Christopher was not present for some reason at the time the other band members were shooting the video. His scenes were filmed later and eventually edited into the video.

Live performances

In the 2006 edition of Walmart Soundcheck, a program sponsored by the Walmart retail chain to promote albums being released, the group performed "Tu Amor" for the first time. On November 24, 2006, after RBD's English interview on Yahoo! Music, the group also performed "Tu Amor".^[5] In 2007, the group appeared on the US music TV show CD USA to perform the single. Later, on July 25, 2007, the group performed "Tu Amor" on the acoustic music TV show Confesiones en Concierto on Ritmoson Latino.^[6] RBD's third worldwide concert tour, the Tour Celestial, also included performances of "Tu Amor" as part of its setlist.

Critical reception

Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic commented that "Tu Amor", the lead single from Rebels, was "perfect for the project" due to its "simplicity" and "production". He also complimented Christian Chávez' vocals, stating that Chávez is "the most fluent singer in the group, with the chorus sung in unison by the group – it's a single tailor-made for Tres".^[7]

Commercial performance

The song became RBD's second single to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it reached position number 65, the highest peak of the group's career on the chart. In Japan, however, the song managed to hit number 30 on the country's singles chart.
