Background

"Que No Se Rompa la Noche" was released as the second single from Iglesias' Un Hombre Solo and became his second number-one hit in the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks, and his last on this chart as a solo artist,^[1] until "Torero", his duet with José Luis Rodríguez "El Puma" in 1992.^[2] This ballad, written by Manuel Alejandro and Ana Magdalena, is a love plea, and Iglesias is asking to his lover to stay all night with him, and he will drive her wild, because he has dreams, caresses and kisses in store.

The song debuted on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart at number 14 on August 29, 1987 and climbed to the top of the chart twelve weeks later.^[3]^[4] It spent two weeks at number-one, replacing "Ahora Te Puedes Marchar" by Luis Miguel and being replaced by "Y Tú También Llorarás" by José Luis Rodríguez "El Puma".
