''Otro Día Más Sin Verte'' (), also called ''Sentir'' () in Spain, is the Spanish-language debut album by Cuban singer Jon Secada. It was released on October 6, 1992, by EMI Latin to coincide with his English-language self-titled debut album, which was released in April 1992. The idea to release an all Spanish-language album was pitched by Secada's music mentor Emilio Estefan, after realizing that SBK Records have yet released such an album. Estefan presented Secada's proposal for a Spanish-language recording to the head of SBK, Charles Koppelman and then president of EMI Latin Jose Behar.
