"Quiero Decirte" is a song by Spanish singers and songwriters Abraham Mateo and Ana Mena. It was released on 12 May 2022 through Sony Music España as the first single from Mateo's seventh studio album, Insomnio.
The song is a Spanish-language pop ballad centred on remorse, emotional vulnerability and the desire for reconciliation after a breakup. It became one of the most commercially successful collaborations in the catalogues of both artists in Spain, where it was certified four-times platinum by PROMUSICAE.
Background and release

The label also stated that the track was made available on digital platforms alongside its official music video.
The single was released during a period in which Mateo was moving back towards a more direct Spanish pop sound, while continuing to develop his profile as a singer, songwriter and producer. For Mena, the collaboration arrived after a series of successful releases in Spain and Italy, strengthening her position as one of the most internationally visible Spanish female pop artists of her generation.
