La llave de mi corazón (song)

The key of my heart written by Juan Luis Guerra is a Latin pop song from 2007, but with a focus on decades of the 50th. Though the song is primarily written in Spanish, several parts of the lyrics are written in English. In the song, a man meets his match maker online even they do not have too much in common and wonders what he should do when he meets her thus opening "the key to his heart".
