"Perhaps") is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin for his seventh studio album, Almas del Silencio (2003).

The song received widely positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its melody, lyrics, and Martin's vocals.

The accompanying music video was filmed in La Boca near Buenos Aires, and directed by Kacho López and Carlos Pérez.

[4] Medina explained to Billboard that they asked Venezuelan singer-songwriter Franco De Vita to write the song, since "he's a composer that knows Ricky well; they have a connection".

[5] "Tal Vez" was included as the second track on Martin's seventh studio album, Almas del Silencio, released May 20, 2003.

[13][12] The track was produced by Puerto Rican musician Tommy Torres and runs for a total of 4 minutes and 39 seconds.

[15] Lyrically, "Tal Vez", which translates to "Perhaps" in English,[16] is a romantic song about regret and is an "aching reflection on lost opportunities and last chances", according to the Los Angeles Times.

Leila Cobo from Billboard described its melody as "soaring" and "catchy", explaining its lyrics as "simple - yet not simplistic".

[22] Writing for the El Paso Times, Melissa Martinez noted its similarity with previous ballads and stated: "The heartache just seeps through each word and leaves you wanting to reach out and make it all better.

"[13] Mario Tarradell of The Herald-News gave the song a positive review, saying it is "an undeniable hit, a sweeping ballad that never turns cloying".

[23] An editor for El Tiempo likened Martin recording the salsa version of the song to trying on a different shirt size.

[11] Carlos Mario Castro from El Sabanero X named "Tal Vez" Martin's third-best song, mentioning that it "undoubtedly rescues the values inherent in the singer's Puerto Rican origin", following his crossover to English.

It was nominated for Song of the Year at the 4th Annual Latin Grammy Awards,[30] but lost to "Es Por Ti" by Juanes.

[16][37] It spent a total of 11 non-consecutive weeks at this position, surpassing "Livin' la Vida Loca" as Martin's longest number-one single on the chart, and was the longest-running number one of 2003.

[51] The video was uploaded on the singer's YouTube channel on October 3, 2009, but was made unavailable after receiving 27.5 million views.

[52] A remastered version of the video was also uploaded on Martin's YouTube channel on the same date, which has received over 65 million views, as of November 2021.
