"Te Quisé Olvidar" ("I Wanted to Forget You") is a song originally performed and co-written by Venezuelan singer Carlos Baute from his album Yo Nací Para Quererte (1999). It is a ballad about "obsession towards a lost love and the useless attempt to forget by finding someone new".[1] The song was later covered by Latin pop boy band MDO from their album Subir Al Cielo (2000). It was released as the album's lead single on 18 October 2000.[1] The music video was directed by co-directed by Pablo Croce and Tony Van Den-ende and filmed at a desert in Venezuela.[2][3] It served as the main theme for the telenovelas Muñeca brava and Alma rebelde.[4] A norteño and English version was also recorded with the latter being titled "So Hard to Forget".[5] A salsa version was also later recorded and included on the compilation album 2002 Ultimate Mega Hits (2002).[6] Other cover versions include salsa versions by Japhet Albert and Moa Rivera, numbers 31 and 21, respectively, on the Billboard Tropical Airplay charts,[7][8] and Regional Mexican versions by El Bebeto and Siggno (numbers 14 and 43 in Mexico).[9][10]
