He entered onto the scene in the early 1990s, being the first rural bachatero to reach a mainstream audience with his hit "Voy pa'lla", shortly after Blas Durán had appropriated the electric guitar for the genre. Santos' adoption of soft romantic lyrics was more socially accepted than the bawdy cabaret style common to bachata before him, and he shortly became the genre's leading artist, helping move bachata into the Caribbean Latino mainstream.

Antony Santos is currently the best paid bachatero in the Dominican Republic. He has already signed the contract to offer a concert in Puerto Rico at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum, a venue with a seating capacity of 10,000 people. This concert was on May 12, 2007 and he's said to have been paid an unprecedented US$90,000 for this one presentation alone.

ay, de nuevo
tu bachatu
antony santos

no creas que sin ti
yo no puedo vivir
porque si no ay razon
de que te quiera asi

se bien que yo te amo
no puedo estar sin ti
pero me estoy
cansando de surfrir

no jueges con mi amor
dime si no me quieres
talvez mi corazon
resiste y no se muere
si te vas de mi lado
y te olvidas de mi
yo me acostumbrare
a vivir sin ti

y si buscas otra amor
que te vaya mejor
y si piensas en mi
ya veras que dolor
y tu comprenderas
que te hace falta mi amor

y si tu quieras me olvida
si quieres volver tambien
que aqui estere con mi sombra
esperando tu llegada
y si tu quieras me olvida
y si regresas muy bien
o esperare que hasta entiendas
que sin mi amor tu no eres nada

se bien sera dificil
alejarme de ti
pero mi triste alma
tambien quiere vivir
dime si tu deseas
maltrando me asi
que ahora mismo
acabe de morir

y tu vas a llorar
cuando escuches sonar
las canciones que a mi
me gustaba escuchar
porque se que me quieres
no lo puedes negar

y si tu quieras me olvida
si quieres volver tambien
que yo estare aqui en silecion
hablando con mi almohada
y si tu quieras me olvida
y si regresas muy bien
o cuando quieras me avisas
que no dire ya mas palabras

si no fuera porque
te llevo aqui en mi pecho
hace tiempo que ya
por ti lo hubiera hecho
dejarte y irme lejos
que no sepas de mi
y tu vas a desear
que este aqui

y si buscas otra amor
que te vaya mejor
y si piensas en mi
ya veras que dolor
y tu comprenderas
que te hace falta mi amor

y si tu quieras me olvida
si quieres volver tambien
que aqui estere con mi sombra
esperando tu llegada
y si tu quieras me olvida
y si regresas muy bien

o esperare que hasta entiendas
que sin mi amor tu no eres nada
