Sobrevivir (English: Survive) is the eighth studio album by Puerto Rican recording artist Olga Tañón, released on 19 November 2002 by Warner Music Latina. The album was produced by Humberto Gatica, Kike Santander, and Manuel Tejada. Sobrevivir includes a collection of songs from different genres such as pop music, merengue, ballads, flamenco and tango. The album lead single, "Asi es La Vida", became Tañón's third number-one single in the Billboard Top Latin Songs and the seventh best-performing Latin single of the year in the United States.
Tañón was awarded the Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album for this release, which peaked within the Top 20 in the Billboard Top Latin Albums on its debut week.
Olga Tañón, the first female Hispanic performer to receive two consecutive Grammy Awards, for the albums Olga Viva, Viva Olga and Yo Por Ti, recorded Sobrevivir under the guidance of Humberto Gatica, Kike Santander, and Manuel Tejada. About the album, Tañón said: "I loved doing this album, I loved working with people who I worked. Every album I record is more mature, musically speaking."Sobrevivir continued with the crossover from tropical music to pop music that began with Nuevos Senderos, Te Acordarás de Mí and Yo Por Tí, being her first full length pop music album.
Sobrevivir includes several ballads, which reminds Tañón's previous work on the album Nuevos Senderos produced by Marco Antonio Solís. "Mentiras", a ballad, tells the story of a woman who finishes a tormentous relationship. "A Partir de Hoy" is described as an "ode to positivism," while "Angel de Mi Corazon" is a tribute to Tañón's daughter. The track "Quien Diria" features co-lead vocals by fellow Puerto-Rican American singer Luis Fonsi. The album also features "Beso a Beso", a modern tango mixed with R&B, giving it a sound similar to some of Marc Anthony’s work. The singer declared about the musical content of Sobrevivir: "The album is balanced, have sentimental ballads, the kind you hear as a masochist when you finish a relationship with your boyfriend, and on the other hand, the happiness and cheerful feeling of people who are in love."
