In 1997, Crespo decided to leave the group and follow a solo career. He was replaced in 1998 with Reynaldo Santiago, who had previously sung with Zona Roja, another popular merengue band at the time. The band has achieved gold status with some of their albums and are considered one of the best in the genre.
At the beginning of the millennium, the band faced some controversy when Héctor Serrano, the group director, fired Cotto and Santiago on the grounds of alleged discipline problems. Cotto and Santiago would go on to form Grupo Starz, while Serrano replaced them with Alex Rivera and Juan Luis Guzmán.
Despite never having the same amount of success as previous years, the band continued to perform and record albums. However, in 2006, Serrano announced the group would go on a reunion tour entitled "The Originals" with former members, Elvis Crespo and Alfred Cotto. After three years inactivity, Grupo Mania released "15 Años de Corazon" in late 2008.

Bajo la lluvia me pongo romantico Bajo la lluvia hoy quiero hablarte de amor de amor
Era un dia soleado sentado en el parque contigo
De mis sentimientos yo queria hablarte
Tu me mirabas coqueta y yo pensaba
De pronto el cielo de gris se tisnaba
Era un aviso de lluvia y el sol se oculto
Pero tuve que inventar para que no te marcharas
Mientras las gotas de lluvia iban mojando tu cara
La lluvia seguía cayendo muy fuerte encima de mi
Te di un beso en la boca, y luego te dije asi
Bajo la lluvia me pongo romantico, bajo la lluvia hoy quiero hablarte de amor
Bajo la lluvia yo yo, Bajo la lluvia llego Bajo la lluvia llego, Me pongo yo me pongo
Bajo la lluvia, me pongo romantico, Bajo la lluvia, hoy quiero hablarte de amor de amor

Bajo la lluvia yoTe dire cuanto te quiero
De aqui no me quiero ir que me moje el agucero
Bajo la lluvia yoTe dire cuanto te quiero
De aqui no me quiero ir que me moje el agucero
Y por eso Es que me enamoro cuando llueeve
Y mas te voy queriendo y mas te voy queriendo
Romantico yo yo yo Romantico yo yo yo
Es que me enamoro cuando llueeve
Y mas te voy queriendo y mas te voy queriendo
Romantico yo yo yo Romanticooo
Corre que va lloverEl agua esta cayendo
Corre que va lloverY tu te vas corriendo
Corre que va lloverSi no te doy un beso
Corre que va llover Tu amor te me voy perdiendo
Corre que va lloveeerrrQue llueva que llueva estoy enamorado
Con un besito en la boca te dire cuanto te amo
The song "Bajo La Lluvia" by Grupo Mania talks about the singer's romantic feelings towards a person he is with while it is raining. The verses describe a sunny day in the park where the singer wants to talk about his feelings to the person he is with. He notices the weather changing, and it starts to rain heavily. In fear of the person leaving, the singer improvises and gives them a kiss, followed by confessing his feelings for them.
The chorus, which is the most memorable part of the song, emphasizes the singer's romantic behavior while it's raining. He becomes more passionate and wants to express his love to the person he is with. The song also makes use of the Mambo genre, which is a Latin music and dance style, with a lively and rhythmic beat. The bridge section brings in the traditional Latin American style by adding a call and response section.
