She started singing at a very young age. Cristóbal Sansano became her first producer. After signing with Sony Music, she recorded her debut album Mónica Naranjo in 1994, resulting in the hit songs "Sola", "El amor coloca" and "Óyeme".
In April 1996, the artist received acclamations during a performance at Mexico City's Teatro Metropolitan (Metropolitan Theater). Taking advantage of her popularity, a second album, "Palabra de Mujer", was issued. The album was a hit, managing to sell more than 2.5 million copies in the United States and Spain, thanks to songs such as "Desátame", "Pantera en libertad", "Las campanas del amor", "Entender el amor" or "Empiezo a recordarte".
In 2000, she released her third album, Minage, a homage to the great Italian diva Mina, with songs from "Sobreviviré", "If you leave me now" and "Enamorada". They were a complete success and her native country became dedicated to Mónica. After having achieved big acceptance in Europe, she managed to sing with Pavarotti and Mina herself.
In 2001, she released Chicas Malas, an album with several collaborations, among them Diane Warren, Gregg Alexander, John Reid, and many more. It was an excessively commercial dance album that did not achieve the success hoped for. But, in this way the songs "No voy a llorar" and "Chicas malas" continue in the mind of millions of persons.
In 2003, as claimed by her fans, she recorded the English version of "Chicas Malas", "Bad Girls".
After a long musical rest, Mónica returned with a 'greatest hits' album ("Colección Privada"), a big success that only contains one new song, "Enamorada de ti". The single and the album were both smash hits. With this album, Mónica closes a stage in her life and her career. In December, she sang with Rocío Jurado "Punto de partida" in her TV homage Rocío... Siempre.
Mónica Naranjo returned a few months ago with her new smash single "Europa" in 2008, from the album Tarántula.
If You Leave Me Now
Mónica Naranjo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holding on to the memories
I'll survive somehow
Baby when you're gone
Holding you close to me
Always made me feel so right
Love is fantasy
Tell me what are you feeling?
Tell me you still care
But I can't help believing
You will not be there
If you leave me now
Holding on to the memories
I'll survive somehow
Baby when you're gone
If you leave me now
Holding on to the mystery
I can fight somehow
I will carry on
You held me in ecstasy
Then you let me slip away
The things that you said to me
Made me think you'd always stay
But you can't fight the feeling
Every night and day
When it's over, it's over
There's nothing I can stay
If you leave me now
Holding on to the memories
I'll survivie somehow
Baby when you're gone
If you leave me now
Holding on to the mystery
I can fight somehow
I will carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Want to tell me
What are you feeling
Tell me you still care
But I can't help believing
You will not be there
The song "If You Leave Me Now" by Mónica Naranjo deals with the emotional aftermath of a breakup, with the singer trying to come to terms with the fact that her partner has left her. The lyrics suggest that while loving someone can feel like a fantasy, it can also be painful and bring uncertainty, especially when that love ends. The singer is holding on to the memories, hoping that somehow she can survive without her partner, but she can't help feeling that they won't be there for her anymore, no matter how much she wants them to stay.
The chorus repeats the idea of the singer holding on to the memories and fighting to carry on without her partner, highlighting the resilience necessary to move on after a painful breakup. The bridge of the song reflects on the moments of ecstasy shared with her partner, but also the moment they slipped away. The singer doesn't want her partner to leave her, but she can't fight the feeling that they won't stay, and that realization hurts.
Overall, the song shows the emotional complexity of relationships and the difficulty of letting go when they come to an end. The singer's struggle to survive and carry on in the face of heartbreak is something many listeners can relate to.

If you leave me now
Without you in my life
Holding on to the memories
Only reminiscing about the past
I'll survive somehow
I will stay strong despite the pain
Baby when you're gone
Once you're gone from my life
Holding you close to me
Being with you was so perfect
Always made me feel so right
Being in your arms always felt like home
Love is fantasy
Love can create illusions
Sometimes it can change your life
Love can transform us
Tell me what are you feeling?
Can you express your emotions to me?
Tell me you still care
Do you still love me?
But I can't help believing
Though I want to believe in you, my doubts persist
You will not be there
You won't be by my side
Holding on to the mystery
Trying to find hidden answers
I can fight somehow
I am strong enough to persevere
I will carry on
I will continue moving forward
You held me in ecstasy
Being with you was pure bliss
Then you let me slip away
You didn't fight to keep me
The things that you said to me
Your words gave me hope and comfort
Made me think you'd always stay
I thought you would be my forever
But you can't fight the feeling
You cannot control your emotions
Every night and day
Always and forever
When it's over, it's over
When love fades away, it's gone
There's nothing I can say
I'm at a loss for words
Carry on
Keep going
Want to tell me
Do you want to express yourself?
