"Spanish Guitar" is the third single from Toni Braxton's third studio album, The Heat (2000). Released in 2000, the song was written by Diane Warren, who also wrote "Un-Break My Heart". It was never released as a commercial single in the United States, causing the song to chart outside the top ninety-five of the Billboard Hot 100. This song remains a fan favorite as Braxton oftens performs the dance version live.
[edit] Music video
The video starts out with Braxton floating on top of the water. The scene quickly changes to a crowded cafe and centers on a Latin lover playing the guitar. The scene changes to a very modern white and red room where Braxton in a red dress sings her longing to be in his arms. There are several shots of him playing the guitar than the guitar morphing into Braxton in his arms. Towards the end, he and Braxton have a dance scene together. This video was directed by Billie Woodruff who also directed the videos for "Un-Break My Heart" and "He Wasn't Man Enough".
