By the Numbers
3.0 is an interpreter's album, and its authorship story sits almost entirely with outside writers. The signature hit 'Vivir Mi Vida' is a Spanish-language salsa adaptation of Khaled's 2012 song 'C'est la vie,' and the sources credit its writing to the original team of Khaled, RedOne (Nadir Khayat), Alex Papaconstantinou, Björn Djupström, and Bilal Hajji rather than to Anthony himself. Marc Anthony is the lead vocalist across every track, but the songs come from a range of composers: Julio Reyes wrote three cuts, Polo Montañez wrote 'Flor Pálida,' Benito de Jesús wrote 'La Copa Rota,' and Adriana Lucía, Ettore Grenci, Monica Velez, and Luísito Berrios supplied the rest. Sergio George produced and arranged the entire record, giving it a single, unified salsa voice. Anthony's name is absent from the songwriting credits in the sources checked, so he is credited here strictly as the performer.
3.0 is the studio album by Marc Anthony released on July 23, 2013 through Sony Music Latin, his first all-salsa album in nearly a decade and the record that returned him to the top of the tropical world. Produced entirely by longtime collaborator Sergio George and recorded at Hit Factory Criteria in Miami, it paired Anthony's voice with lush salsa arrangements across originals and reworked classics. The lead single 'Vivir Mi Vida,' a Spanish-language salsa adaptation of Khaled's 'C'est la vie,' became a career-defining hit that topped Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart and won the Latin Grammy for Record of the Year. Other cuts revived beloved boleros and salsa standards, including a version of Polo Montañez's 'Flor Pálida' and the classic 'La Copa Rota.' The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, won Best Salsa Album at the 2014 Latin Grammy Awards, and was later certified Diamante (Latin) by the RIAA. As a singer's record it leans on outside songwriters, with Anthony interpreting rather than writing the material.
