"Cómo Se Cura una Herida" (transl. "How to Mend a Pain")[1] is a song by American singer Jaci Velasquez for her fifth studio album Mi Corazón (2001). The song was written by Abel Talamántez, Didier Hernández, and Tomás Torres with Rudy Pérez, Mark Heimermann, and Phil Nash handling its productions. A pop ballad, the song, as with the other tracks from the album, explores themes of faith. One music journalist noted that the song could be interpreted into love of a person or God.

"Llegar a Ti" was met with positive reactions from music critics, who found the track to be beautiful. The song led to Velasquez receiving several accolades, including a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2000. Commercially, it topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts in the United States, making her the first Christian artist to do so. "Love Will Find You" peaked at number 24 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. An accompanying music video features Velasquez performing in a well-lit blue room.

Background and composition[edit]

In 1999, Jaci Velasquez released her first Spanish-language album, Llegar a Ti, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Performance[2] The record was then followed up with Crystal Clear a year later which was nominated a Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.[3] Both albums were produced by Mark Heimermann and Rudy Pérez.[4][5] On March 16, 2001, Sony Discos announced that Velasquez was working on a new album and once again collaborates with Heimemann and Pérez along with working with Emilio Estefan, Alejandro Jaen, and Desmond Child.[6]

According to Sony Discos's website, "Cómo Se Cura una Herida" is a "heartfelt" ballad that "embodies the devastating feeling of when your world coming crumbling down as you discover a loved one has betrayed you. It's the sad realization that this person who you believed was so strong, so stable, so righteous was, in reality, so weak, so vulnerable, so deceitful" and the song concludes that "there is only one true being".[7]

Promotion and reception[edit]

"Cómo Se Cura una Herida" was released as the album's lead single on March 27, 2001 by Sony Discos.[6] Its music video features Velasquez singing in a well-lit blue room with MDO appearing on a TV screen as background vocalists.[8]

AllMusic editor Drago Bonacich called "Cómo Se Cura una Herida" a "romantic ballad".[9] At the 2002 Latin Billboard Music Awards, "Cómo Se Cura una Herida" was nominated in the categories of Hot Latin Track of the Year and Latin Pop Airplay of the Year, but ultimately lost both awards to "Abrázame Muy Fuerte" by Juan Gabriel.[10] In the same year, it was nominated Pop Song of the Year at Lo Nuestro Awards,[11] but also lost to "Abrázame Muy Fuerte".[12] It was recognized as one of the best-performing songs of the year at the ASCAP Latin Awards under the pop/ballad category in 2000.[13] Commercially, "Llegar a Ti" topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts in the US, making her the first Christian artist to reach number one on the Latin charts.[14][15][16]
