In 2003, Jesús Navarro and Julio Ramirez started their then-nascent musical project, tentatively called "Reik". It was then they recorded their first demos, which were released through the Mexican underground club scene. Two of the most successful demos — "Levemente" and "Ahora Sin Ti " — brought more widespread coverage across Mexico. In early 2004, Reik invited Gilberto to join the band. They have been famous ever since, mainly in Latin America, Mexico, and southern parts of the United States. Their videos have been broadcasted on famous music television channels, such as MTV and HTV.
Reik is the debut album, the first single "Yo Quisiera" got heavy rotation on Mexican pop radio stations and soon went to number one. Their second single "Qué Vida La Mía" also topped the Mexican charts as did their third single "Noviembre Sin Ti". Their fourth single, "Niña", failed to match the success of their previous singles, charting only at #33.
Their second album, Secuencia , was released on November 14, 2006, which featured the first single, "Invierno" (released on November 6), which gained a lot of popularity based Latin American airplay.
Reik has been nominated to the Latin Grammy in the category "Best New Artist". They have been nominated to "Premios Lo Nuestro", "Premios Juventud", and numerous other awards. The band also has 4 nominations to the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America in the categories of "Best Pop Artist", "Best Group", "Best Northern Region Artist", and "Best Northern Region New Artist", winning three out of four.

Reik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you read my mind, don't wanna lose my cool
I can feel your mouth melt away on my advances
Can you feel my heart beating fast for you
I pull you close, girl I can make your temperature rise
Let's lose control, don't hold back
Let love ignite
Now all I wanna do is hold you
And touch you like you've never been touched
I knew it from the moment I saw you
This could be love
And who knows what could come with the morning light
Right now you make me feel so alive
I could feel that rush when I look into your eyes
Don't you wanna play with fire
Like a shooting star shooting traveling across the sky
If we're gonna burn out, I wanna burn out right
I pull you close, girl let's make the temperature rise
Let's lose control, don't hold back
Let love ignite
Now all I wanna do is hold you
And touch you like you've never been touched
I knew it from the moment I saw you
This could be love
And who knows what could come with the morning light
Right now you make me feel so alive
I could feel that rush when I look into your eyes
Don't you wanna play with fire
Let the heat of the moment take you
Fly its way into the sun
From the stars to a plane baby we'll be burning up
Now all I wanna do is hold you
And touch you like you've never been touched
I knew it from the moment I saw you
This could be love
And who knows what could come with the morning light
Right now you make me feel so alive
I could feel that rush when I look into your eyes
Don't you wanna play with fire
Don't you wanna play with fire
Don't you wanna play with fire
In the lyrics to Reik's song Play With Fire, the singer is clearly in a state of anticipation, desire, and excitement. They are reading each other's cues and exploring the potential for deeper physical and emotional connection. There is an almost palpable sense of urgency and tension building, as they ask each other if they can feel what's happening between them. The singer is investing themselves deeply in the moment and taking a risk by trying to initiate a meaningful connection with the other person.
One of the most striking aspects of these lyrics is the way they emphasize the physical senses and sensations of the moment. The singer is acutely aware of their own heartbeat and the way the other person's mouth feels against them. They want to "touch you like you've never been touched" and "make your temperature rise," suggesting a focus on the raw physicality of their attraction. At the same time, the lyrics also suggest a deeper emotional connection, as the singer talks about the possibility of love and the way the other person makes them feel truly alive.
