"Tengo Todo Excepto a Ti" ("I Have Everything But You") is a pop song written, produced and arranged by Juan Carlos Calderón, and performed by Mexican singer Luis Miguel. It was released in 1990 as the lead single from his studio album 20 Años, and became his fourth number-one single in the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart after "Ahora Te Puedes Marchar", "La Incondicional" and "Fría Como el Viento". The parent album peaked at number two in the Latin Pop Albums chart and sold more than 600,000 copies in its first week.[1][2]

The singer made the transition into adulthood with the album 20 Años, which reflected his age at the time of its release.[1] "Tengo Todo Excepto a Ti" was included in the traklist for his 20 Años Tour in 1990, also in a medley along "Yo Que No Vivo Sin Tí", "Culpable o No", "Más Allá", "Fría Como el Viento", "Entrégate" and "La Incondicional" during his live performances in the National Auditorium in México City. This performance was later released on his album El Concierto (1995).[3] In 2005, the song was included on the compilation album Grandes Éxitos.[4]

"Tengo Todo Excepto a Ti" ranked second in the Billboard Year-End Chart of 1990,[8] and became Luis Miguel's longest stay at number-one and his fourth single to peak at the top, following "Ahora Te Puedes Marchar" (1987), "La Incondicional" and "Fría Como el Viento" (both 1989).[2]

"Tengo Todo Excepto a Ti" has been covered by several performers, including Aramis Camilo, Carlos Cuevas, Los Flamers, Darvel García, Kika y Raúl, Komboloko and Giovanni Vivanco.[9] Mexican band La Posta also recorded a version of the track, which was used as the main theme for the telenovela of the same title, which was broadcasted in México by TV Azteca.[10][11] The song was also recorded by Mexican singer Edith Márquez and was included on her album ¿Quién Te Cantará? La Música de Juan Carlos Calderón, a 2003 tribute album produced by Calderón.[12] Márquez was awarded with a Gold album certification in México for this album.[13]
