Tañón is the youngest of four children born to José Tañón and Carmen Gloria Ortíz. Much of her life, her middle-class family lived in Levittown, Puerto Rico. Her childhood and teenage years were just like that of any other average child; the only difference was that Tañón wanted to be a singer.
Tañón's singing career started when she joined a group called Las Nenas de Ringo y Jossie (Ringo and Jossie's Girls) in the 1980s. A short time later a very popular group in Puerto Rico called Chantelle noticed her mezzo soprano voice and recruited her. They saw in her what they needed for their merengue style of music. When Tañón was a member of Chantelle, they scored their biggest hit, Aunque Tú no Quieras (Even If You Don't Want It), which was popular in Latin America.
In 1992, Tañón signed a contract with the WEA Latina record label to record a solo album. Her first recorded album was titled, Sola (Alone). Among the songs in the album were, Me Cambio por Ella (He Traded Me For Her), and Quiero estar Contigo (I Want To Be With You).
In 1993, she recorded her second album for WEA Latina, Mujer de Fuego (Woman of Fire). Tañón also debuted as a composer with the song, Presencié tu Amor (I Witnessed Your Love).
In 1994, Tañón earned her first double platinum record and in 1995, she earned three more platinum records with her album, Siente el Amor (Feel the Love). This album also included another of her compositions, Unicornio (Unicorn), which was written to the rhythm of Salsa and also included the unforgettable Merengue song, Es Mentiroso (He's a Liar). Tañón had gained fame and recognition throughout Latin America.
Tañón recorded a Tex-Mex CD with Mexican singer Marco Antonio Solís called Nuevos Senderos. She was now being heard internationally, and with that recording she became the first Puerto Rican musician to be certified by the RIAA to sell over half a million records. The album lead single, the ballad, Basta Ya topped the U.S. Billboard Top Latin Tracks for several weeks, and became Tañón first #1.
In 1997, Tañón debuted as an actress in the Puerto Rican version of the popular production of "Jesus Christ Superstar", produced by Rafo Muñiz. She played the part of Mary Magdalene. This version had a tropical feel to it and included some of Tañón's songs.
In 1998, Tañón married Juan González a Puerto Rican major league baseball star. In 1999, after many scandals, the marriage ended in divorce. The couple had a daughter, Gabriella Marie.
In 2000, Tañón, who was now known as the "Woman in Fire" by her fans, recorded her first concert, titled, Olga Viva...Viva Olga in the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida. This production was named by the National Foundation of Popular Culture as one the top 20 productions of the year. The record went platinum and Tañón earned her first Grammy Award.
On August 2000, Tañón sold out 12 shows in the Antonio Paoli Hall at the Luis A. Ferre Center of the Fine Arts in San Juan. Later that same month, she debuted in the Bass Performance Hall in Fort Worth, Texas. Her performances received rave reviews in the Fort Worth Star Telegram and the Dallas Morning News.
At the end of 2000, Tañón presented her musical spectacular at the Anayansi Theater in Panama, and toured the southeastern United States with Mexican singer Alejandro Fernandez.
In 2001, Tañón recorded a CD titled, Yo Por Ti (Me for You), which won both American and Latin Grammys. The first single, Como Olvidar, topped the U.S. Billboard Top Latin Tracks. The CD became a best-seller in Puerto Rico, Latin America, and among the Hispanic population in the United States.
In 2002, Tañón toured many countries, including Venezuela, Panama and the United States. That year she became the first merengue artist to successfully score a chart topper in the Middle East when her partnership with Egyptian music singer Hakim yielded the highly successful Arabian hit, Ah Ya Albi. In 2003, Tañón toured Europe and made a total of ten recordings for WEA Latina. In 2003 she released Sobrevivir and won her fourth Grammy. She also married music producer Billy Denizard, with whom she had two sons, Indiana Noa and Ian Nahir.
As part of a international tour called, "Evolution Tour 2008", Tañón traveled to Italy where she would make a presentation at the Festival Latinoamericano on July 5, 2008.
In 2005, Olga Tañón made public that her daughter Gabriela is one of only 50 people in the world to have Sebastian syndrome, a rare disease. Her plans are to keep touring and donate some of the money that she earns to find her daughter a cure. She also released her hit album, Una Nueva Mujer, which won Best Contemporary Tropical Album at the 2006 Latin Grammys.
In support of Latin American immigrants in the U.S., in 2006 Olga recorded, Nuestro Himno in collaboration with Pitbull, Carlos Ponce, and Wyclef Jean.

Noche tras noche
Pienso
Porque no tengo tu amor
Y vuelve el recuerdo magico
Que llega hasta mi
Como oca en el viento
Y puedo sentir
En mis labios tu aliento
Como se puede por alguien morir de pasion?
Noche tras noche
Pienso
Si perdere el corazon
En medio de este silencio
Desolador
Que trae a tu nombre
Y lo aferra a mi cuerpo
Y me hace mujer entre el cielo y el suelo
Como se puede olvidar de un suspiro este amor?
Si entre la noche y el dia
Me faltas tu
Y en esta cama vacia
No se quien soy
Se me escapa la vida
Con esta herida
Mi alma pide perdon
Si entre la noche y el dia
Me faltas tu
Y no hay dolor mas amargo
Que mi dolor
Se me escapa la vida
Con esta herida
Mi alma pide perdon
Mi alma pide perdon
Mi alma pide perdon
Ieee, eeee...
Noche tras noche
Pienso
Si perdere el corazon
En medio de este silencio
Desolador
Que trae a tu nombre
Y lo aferra a mi cuerpo
Y me hace mujer entre el cielo y el suelo
Como se puede olvidar de un suspiro este amor?
Si entre la noche y el dia
Me faltas tu
Y en esta cama vacia
No se quien soy
Se me escapa la vida
Con esta herida
Mi alma pide perdon
Si entre la noche y el dia
Me faltas tu
Y no hay dolor mas amargo
Que mi dolor
Se me escapa la vida
Con esa herida
Mi alma pide perdon
Mi alma pide perdon
Mi alma pide perdon
Ieee, eeee...
Si entre la noche y el dia
Me faltas tu... Tu
Yo quiero verte
Quiero adorarte
Quiero tenerte
Tambien besarte
Si entre la noche y el dia
Me faltas tu... Tu
Y yo no perdere tu amor
Eres mi vida y mi ilusion
Contigo solo se soñar
De aqui hasta la eternidad
Ieee, eee...
Si entre la noche y el dia
Me faltas tu... Tu
The lyrics to Olga Tañón's "Entre la noche y el día" explore the pain and longing felt by someone who is missing the love of their life. The song opens with the singer reflecting on their yearning for their partner's love. They describe how only through the power of a song can they feel close to their loved one, their lips able to conjure the sensation of their breath. They ask the question of how one can die of passion for another.
As the song continues, the singer confesses their fear of losing their heart to their loneliness. The silence that surrounds them is unbearable, and the memory of their love's name is all that keeps them alive. They feel as though they are suspended between heaven and earth, and can't forget the sighs of their love. The chorus repeats the idea that if their love is missing between night and day, they are lost and their soul cries out for forgiveness.
The rest of the song alternates between these lyrics and the plea for their love to return to them. The singer confesses that they want and need their partner, who is the passion and meaning of their life. They fear that without them, they are nothing, and all they can do is dream of their love. The song concludes with another repetition of the need for forgiveness and the singer's desire for their lover to return.

Noche tras noche pienso ¿Por qué no tengo tu amor?
Y vuela el recuerdo mágico de una canción que llega hasta mí como hoja en el viento,
y puedo sentir en mis labios tu aliento
¿Cómo se puede por alguien morir de pasión?
Noche tras noche pienso si perderé el corazón
en medio de este silencio desolador que trae a tu nombre
y lo aferra a mi cuerpo y me hace mujer entre el cielo y el suelo.
¿Cómo se puede olvidar de un suspiro este amor?
Si entre la noche y el día me faltas tú...
Y en esta cama vacía no sé quién soy
Se me escapa la vida con esta herida,
mi alma pide perdón.
Si entre la noche y el día me faltas tú...
Y no hay dolor más amargo que mi dolor.
Se me escapa la vida con esta herida,
//mi alma pide perdón//
Noche tras noche pienso si perderé el corazón
en medio de este silencio desolador que trae a tu nombre
y lo aferra a mi cuerpo y me hace mujer entre el cielo y el suelo.
¿Cómo se puede olvidar de un suspiro este amor?
Si entre la noche y el día me faltas tú...
Y en esta cama vacía no sé quién soy
Se me escapa la vidacon esta herida,
mi alma pide perdón.
Si entre la noche y el día me faltas tú...
Y no hay dolor más amargo que mi dolor.
Se me escapa la vida con esta herida,
//mi alma pide perdón//
(Si entre la noche y el día me faltas tú, tú)
Yo quiero verte, quiero adorarte, quiero tenerte, también besarte.
(Si entre la noche y el día me faltas tú, tú)
Y yo no perderé tu amor, eres mi vida y mi ilusión, contigo sólo sé soñar desde aquí hasta la eternidad.
(Si entre la noche y el día me faltas tú, tú)
