Fonsi and his family moved to Orlando, Florida, during Fonsi's early childhood. Fonsi's childhood was relatively average for kids his age, beginning to dream about becoming a member of Menudo, arguably Latin America's most famous boy band in history, around the time he was ten years old.
Because of the air distance between his home in Orlando and Menudo's base back in Puerto Rico in particular, Fonsi was not able to achieve that particular childhood dream. He did, however, participate in many local boy bands, including one, Big Guys, where he met, and befriended, future *NSYNC member Joey Fatone. On April of that year, Fonsi had a brief return to the singing stage, when former Menudo Ray Reyes invited him and Lopez to a concert which was held at San Juan's Roberto Clemente coliseum. The press widely covered what El Vocero titled as Fonsi's moment as a Menudo, when he took the stage and joined the members of El Reencuentro to sing some of their old hits.
Fonsi's popularity has transcended ages and genres in Puerto Rico: industrialist Salvador Vassallo, for example, has told El Vocero that Fonsi is among his favorite singers.
Instead of choosing to keep a pattern of trying to find stardom in the United States with a boy band, Fonsi chose to better prepare himself for a future, stable career inside show business. He went to Florida State University to study vocal techniques. Meanwhile, he began to record demo tapes in Miami. While he was at FSU, he was overheard singing by a university music department president, who offered him a contract with a large recording company.
In 1999, Fonsi recorded his first CD, Comenzare (I Will Begin). Comenzare became an instant hit in Puerto Rico and across Latin America, with Fonsi conquering such markets as Colombia, the Dominican Republic,El Salvador, Mexico and Venezuela. His 2000 follow-up, Eterno, was equally successful. By then, Fonsi's fame had reached Europe, as he became a celebrity in Spain as well.
During 2001, a re-mix of Comenzare and Eterno was launched, while Fonsi worked on his next album, 2002's Amor Secreto. At about the same time, some media outlets such as newspapers and magazines began to comment about an allegued, adulterous romance between him and an also very famous married Puerto Rican singer, who had just happened to separate from her husband recently and bought a home near Fonsi's Orlando property. The scandal did not last too long, however, and Fonsi soon released an album in English, Fight the Feeling, also released in 2002.
Fight the Feeling did not sell well among Americans. It is expected, however, that Fonsi will sometime in the future make a second attempt at a crossover: because of the fact he has lived most of his life in Orlando, he is fluent in English as well as in Spanish.
His Fourth CD sold very well which opened new markets in Europe. "Quien te Dijo eso?" reached high positions on music charts. His fifth CD "Paso a Paso" could be said to be his disc that launched him into international markets. "Nada es Para Siempre" reached Number one on the music chart beating famous, Shakira.
By 2003, Fonsi began to fall in love with actress Adamari Lopez, who, as an Univision artist and fellow Puerto Rican, constantly found herself near Fonsi. That same year, Fonsi released the song Abrazar la Vida (Holding on to Life), of the album also named Abrazar la Vida. The song, perhaps ironically and because of a particular circumstance, would later become one of Lopez's favorite songs. While Fight the Feeling was released by the MCA label, Abrazar la Vida was released by Universal's Spanish music label. Fonsi also recorded Amazing in 2003, a duet with Emma Bunton for her 2004 album Free Me.
Fonsi took off 2004, a year when rumors were reported by magazines, television news shows and newspapers that he and Lopez had committed to marry each other. During 2005, Fonsi was in the middle of an international tour that would have had him away from home for many months; the tour was abruptly cancelled when Lopez was diagnosed with cancer. Fonsi promised her to stay by her side, and has travelled with her back and forth between Mexico, Miami and Puerto Rico for various treatment and work related trips.
On June 3, 2006, Fonsi and Adamari Lopez were married in a religious ceremony in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico attended by many celebrities including Joey Fatone, Charytin, Ednita Nazario, and Carlos Ponce and his brother, aspiring Spanish-language singer Jean Rodriguez, who goes simply by Jean as his professional name.
Turn It Up
Luis Fonsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something is calling me out there
Grab my things can't wait no more
Gotta get back on the floor
That's where the music's thumping hard
Where I feel my body start
To lose control
Come on let's turn it up tonight
Just feel the beat
We're gonna dance until we're moving out of sight
You and me
Can you feel it in the rhythm, the flow
Whether it's fast or it's slow
We'll get it right
Come on let's turn it up
Turn it up tonight
Never had that much to say
The music carries me away
My body language does it all
Keeps me living off the wall
Don't need to show you how it goes
It's better if you do your own
Thing cause you're the only one who knows
Never been lazy
About rhythm no baby
Got the music just blazin'
That's right
'Cause when I start flowing
Who knows where I'm going
But everything is gonna be fine
So (let's) turn it up tonight
In the song "Turn it Up" by Luis Fonsi, the lyrics express the freedom and the escape that music can provide. The singer can sense in the air that something is calling him to let go of everything and get back on the dance floor. The singer describes how the music's thumping rhythm makes him feel alive and lets his body lose control. He invites the listener to join him on the dance floor and feel the beat, move until they're out of sight. The lyrics suggest that when you're dancing, the rhythm doesn't matter, whether it's fast or slow, the most important thing is that you feel it in your heart.
The song is about the power of music that can take people to another level of joy, passion, and happiness. It's an invitation to let loose and connect with others through the rhythm of the music. The lyrics also suggest that music has the ability to make people forget their problems, or at least put them on hold while they dance away their troubles.
The song's chorus embraces the idea of turning up the volume and allowing the music to take over. Regardless of what is happening in the world, when you listen to music, especially on the dance floor, everything seems to be alright.

Something is calling me out there
I feel a pull to go out and explore
Grab my things can't wait no more
I'm excited and can't wait any longer
Gotta get back on the floor
I need to return to the dance floor where the music is playing
That's where the music's thumping hard
The music is played loudly, with a strong beat
Where I feel my body start
The music makes my body move involuntarily
To lose control
I let go of any inhibitions or worries
Where I can let go
The dance floor is a place where I can express myself freely
Come on let's turn it up tonight
Let's have a lively and exciting night

I'm not a person of many words
The music carries me away
The music takes me on a journey
My body language does it all
My movements say more than my words
Keeps me living off the wall
The music keeps me energetic and inspired
Don't need to show you how it goes
I don't have to teach you how to dance
It's better if you do your own
It's best if you dance in your own unique style
Thing cause you're the only one who knows
Your own way of dancing is unique to you
Never been lazy
I'm always and eagerly ready to dance
About rhythm no baby
I never compromise on the rhythm
Got the music just blazin'
I'm playing the music at full blast
That's right
That's exactly what I mean
'Cause when I start flowing
When I dance effortlessly
Who knows where I'm going
I may start a spontaneous dance routine
But everything is gonna be fine
Everything will turn out okay in the end
So (let's) turn it up tonight
Let's raise the energy level tonight

Translation~
I have in this story something to confess
I already understood really well what happened
And even if it hurts so much I have to accept
That you aren't the bad one, the bad one is me
You never truly knew me
It was the magic what made you fall in love
And I wouldn't like to be in your place
Because your biggest error was to meet me
It isn't you, it isn't you, it isn't you, it's me
I don't want to make you suffer
It's better to forget and leave it this way
Blame me
(X2)
(English part in Spanish) :
Realmente, realmente no quiero pelear más
Realmente, realmente no quiero fingirlo más
Toca para mí como Los Beatles, cariño, solo déjalo estar
Así que ven y échame la culpa, sí
(Chorus)
You're missing just a kiss (x2)
The kiss I've always promised you
Blame me
(X2)
(X2 all of it)
