Son By Four was created by panamanian producer/songwriter Omar Alfanno and integrated by Angel López, Pedro Quiles, and brothers Javier Montes and George Montes.
In 1998, the group released two songs written by Alfanno, No Hay Razon and Nada. The songs were minor hits on the Billboard Latin Tracks chart, and helped Son By Four sign a recording contract with Sony Records. The same year, they had their first album Preparense and started touring to promote the album. In early 2000, they released an eponymous album featuring single A Puro Dolor. This song, written by Omar Alfanno and originally recorded in Spanish, proved to be a success. Its ballad version was featured in the Spanish soap opera La Calle de las Novias, and the single spent a year on the Billboard's Latin singles chart and set a record for staying at number one for 20 weeks. It also got a place in the Billboard's tropical music charts for 21 weeks. The English version of the song ("Purest of Pain") placed at number 26 on Billboard's pop music charts. The album sold 315,000 units in the United States, and more than 1 million copies worldwide. A Puro Dolor subsequently helped Son by Four earn gold sales status, as well as receiving four prizes at Billboard Music Awards (December 2000) and seven prizes the Billboard Latin Music Awards (April 2001), including Hot Latin Track Artist of the Year. The Spanish version of the song appeared at No. 65 in Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, which was conceived as a rare feat for a Spanish single. The group soon recorded a new English-language version, named The Purest of Pain, and this version got into the top 30, peaking at No. 26. Son By Four continued to release two albums Salsa Hits in 2001 and Renace in 2004, but these were less successful than their second album.
From 2007, the band conformed only by Pedro Quiles and the brothers Javier and George Montes has changed their music style from Latin pop, Salsa and Ballad, to Christian music and are singing to Jesus with the albums Aquí está el Cordero (The Lamb it's here, 2007) and ABBANUESTRO (OURABBA, 2009).

Yeah
Perdona si te estoy llamando en este momento
Pero me hacía falta escuchar de nuevo
Aunque sea un instante
Tu respiración (tu respiración)
Sé que estás con alguien, que no es el momento
Pero hay algo urgente
Que decirte hoy
Estoy muriendo, muriendo por verte (me estoy muriendo)
Agonizando, muy lento y muy fuerte, ey-ey
Vida
Devuélveme mis fantasías
Mis ganas de vivir la vida
Devuélveme el aire
Cariño mío
Sin ti yo me siento vacío
Las tardes son un laberinto
Y las noches me saben a puro dolor
Quisiera decirte que hoy estoy de maravilla
Que no me ha afectado lo de tu partida
Pero con un dedo
No se tapa el sol
Y estoy muriendo, muriendo por verte (me estoy muriendo)
Agonizando, muy lento y muy fuerte
Vida
Devuélveme mis fantasías
Mis ganas de vivir la vida
Devuélveme el aire
Cariño mío
Sin ti yo me siento vacío
Las tardes son un laberinto
Y las noches me saben a puro dolor
Son By Four
Me estoy muriendo, agonizando a puro dolor
(A puro dolor) agonizando pues no te tengo a mi lado
Me estoy muriendo, agonizando a puro dolor
A puro dolor, a puro dolor (a puro dolor)
Vuelve por favor

A puro puro dolor, puro puro dolor (a puro dolor, a puro, a puro dolor)
A puro puro dolor, puro puro dolor (yeah)
Baby
Who we are?, Who we are?
Come on! (Woo) (Son By Four!)

The song "A Puro Dolor" by Son By Four is a touching ballad about heartache and longing for a lost love. The first verse begins with an apology for the phone call, but the singer explains that they simply needed to hear the sound of their ex-partner's breathing, even if only for a moment. The singer goes on to acknowledge that they are violating the agreement made with their former partner, but insists that the message they have to deliver is urgent. They confess that they are dying inside, slowly and painfully, and that they are desperate for just one more glance at their former lover.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's pain and their desire to recapture the life and love they had before. They ask for their fantasies to be returned to them, their desire to live a full life, and the very air they breathe. They call their beloved "cariño mío," and explain that without them they feel empty, and that the evenings and nights are filled with nothing but pure pain.
The final verse expresses the singer's wish that they could tell their ex-partner that they are doing well and that the breakup hasn't affected them, but they admit that this is not true. They say that you can't just wave a hand and make the sun disappear, and confess that they are still desperately in love. The song ends with the repeated plea for their love to return and ease the agony they are feeling.
