"Obsesión" is a song by Dominican-American bachata band Aventura. It was included on the 2002 album We Broke the Rules. It achieved huge success in many countries, topping many international charts. In France, the song held the country's number one slot for seven weeks and as of August 2014, it was the 19th best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 565,000 units sold.
In 2004, the song was covered by 3rd Wish featuring Baby Bash produced by Mintman, but this version was less successful than the original version (#7 In Switzerland, #2 in Austria, #12 in France).
Later, in 2005, the song was covered by Los Horóscopos de Durango in their album Y Seguimos con Duranguense.
Latin R&B artist Frankie J made an English and more soul-styled version of the song, featuring Baby Bash, which was called "Obsession (No Es Amor)". This version, although not having success in Latin America and Europe, was successful in the U.S., even reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Alpı is a Turkic word that may refer to:
Aleph is the first letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician 'Ālep , Hebrew 'Ālef א, Aramaic Ālap
, Syriac ʾĀlap̄ ܐ, and Arabic Alif ا.
The Phoenician letter is derived from an Egyptian hieroglyph depicting an ox's head and gave rise to the Greek Alpha (Α), being re-interpreted to express not the glottal consonant but the accompanying vowel, and hence the Latin A and Cyrillic А.
In phonetics, aleph /ˈɑːlɛf/ originally represented the glottal stop ([ʔ]), often transliterated as U+02BE ʾ , based on the Greek spiritus lenis ʼ, for example, in the transliteration of the letter name itself, ʾāleph. Even in early use, it occasionally functioned to indicate an initial unstressed vowel before certain consonant clusters, the prosthetic (or prothetic) aleph. In later Semitic languages it could sometimes function as a mater lectionis indicating the presence of a vowel elsewhere (usually long). The period at which use as a mater lectionis began is the subject of some controversy, though it had become well established by the late stage of Old Aramaic (ca. 200 BCE).
