"Burbujas de Amor" ("Love Bubbles") is a song by Dominican singer-songwriter Juan Luis Guerra, released as the third single of his album Bachata Rosa (1990).[1] It is widely considered one of Guerra's most popular songs. The song was a commercial success and became an international hit in Europe and Latin America. It peaked at number 2 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. The track received universal acclaim from critics and was praised for its sophisticated lyrics and elegance. The song was marketed as a bachata; however, it's musical form is actually bolero.
