"Me Gustas Tú" is the second single from Manu Chao's second solo album, . One of the artist's most popular songs worldwide, Its lyrics have a simple but catchy structure and are mostly in Spanish with parts of the chorus in French. The song, as well as two other tracks from the same album, "La primavera" and "Infinita tristeza", feature the same background music. In fact, on the album, "La primavera" fades and leads into "Me Gustas Tú".
A music video was produced for the song in Urrao, Colombia, featuring Manu Chao dancing and singing the lyrics while some spare words from it appear on the screen, always surrounded by a frame of colourful patterns. A blonde woman (Spanish actress Paz Gómez) dances beside him and sings at the end of the song.
"Spanish; Castilian: Me Gustas Tú" means "I like you" in Spanish (literally, "You are pleasing to me"). The text "Spanish; Castilian: Doce de la noche en La Habana, Cuba. Once de la noche en San Salvador, El Salvador. Once de la noche en Managua, Nicaragua" is to the radio station Radio Reloj.
