After becoming one of the standout tracks from the acclaimed album ¡ATACA SERGIO! Presents: Urban Salsa Sessions, Sergio George and Anthony Ramos return with a special edition of “I Was The One.” The new release arrives as an exclusive bundle featuring a live acoustic version and a minimalist video that captures the raw magic between the two artists.
A Song That Bridges Classic and Contemporary
Co-written by Sergio George, Anthony Ramos, Nasri Atweh, Will Wells, Johnathan Ramos Capellán, and Bobby Love, “I Was The One” blends heartfelt storytelling with melodic richness. The track explores heartbreak in a way that resonates across generations, bridging the elegance of classic salsa-inspired ballads with a fresh, modern sensibility.
The Acoustic Experience
Stripped down to just Ramos’s commanding vocals and George’s piano accompaniment, the acoustic version reveals the song’s most vulnerable layers. Directed by Jeanpaul Isaacs, the official video adopts a minimalist cinematic style, spotlighting the creative chemistry between George and Ramos and offering fans an intimate window into their artistic process.
A Rising Highlight of Urban Salsa Sessions
The decision to release this version was fueled by the overwhelming response to the original, which quickly became one of the most celebrated tracks from ¡ATACA SERGIO! Presents: Urban Salsa Sessions. The album itself has already earned a nomination at Premios Juventud 2025 for Best Tropical Album.
Live Debut at ¡ATACA SERGIO! All Stars Concert
Fans won’t have to wait long to experience the song live. On September 21 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Anthony Ramos will deliver the first-ever live performance of “I Was The One (Acoustic)” as part of the monumental ¡ATACA SERGIO!
