By the Numbers
Escape is a high-authorship pop record: Enrique Iglesias co-wrote most tracks, splitting the album between the Steve Morales, Kara DioGuardi, and David Siegel team and the Paul Barry and Mark Taylor team. His pen is on every original, including the global ballad 'Hero,' and the Spanish-language versions of the singles, making it one of his most self-written crossover albums.
Escape is the fifth studio album by Enrique Iglesias, released in 2001 on Interscope and his commercial peak in the English-language market. Anchored by the worldwide ballad 'Hero,' which became an anthem after the September 11 attacks, it blended dance-pop and ballads written largely with Steve Morales, Kara DioGuardi, and David Siegel, plus the Paul Barry and Mark Taylor team. Iglesias co-wrote most of the album, including 'Escape' and 'Don't Turn Off the Lights,' and recorded Spanish versions of the singles. The album sold around ten million copies worldwide and produced several international hits, confirming his status as a global pop star.
