Escape is the second English-language studio album released by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias. The album was released on October 30, 2001, and was later reissued in late 2002, with the addition of three bonus tracks.
Iglesias either wrote or co-wrote every track on the album, and has said that for many of the tracks on the album he started out simply with titles that he later based the songs on. The first song to use this method was "Don't Turn Off the Lights", which was originally going to be the title of the album and the first single off the album. Iglesias also stated that he wrote many songs for the album, but picking the ones he considered to be the very best. "Hero" Was co-written by Iglesias and New Zealand artist Mase Shaw, one of the larger hits off of the album.
