Song history
"Don't Let This Moment End" is a kind of ballad with a Club-Dance background. This song was the second single released for commercial purpose in the U.S. after "Heaven's What I Feel".
The song was recorded in two languages, English and French. The title of the song in French is "Que Ça Ne Finisse Jamais" and is only available on the Gloria! European edition of the album as a bonus track.
This single became a smash hit on the dance charts, almost peaking at the top of charts for that field. Also thanks to the song, Gloria Estefan was nominated for the second consecutive time for a Grammy Music Award for "Best Dance Recording", but lost to Cher's smash hit "Believe".
The B-side to this single was "70's Moment Medley" recorded especially for this single release, on which Estefan sang covers of disco songs. On that medley Estefan included:
Music video
The music video of "Don't Let This Moment End" premiered on November 3, 1998 and was directed by Gustavo Garzon. It features Estefan as some kind of a disco diva in a nightclub. In the video she appears in three different styles and looks. In the beginning Estefan is seen arriving a club in a limousine while photographers outside the club are waiting for her. She poses for them in a diva manner. Inside the club Estefan starts singing, now in a 70s disco look, wearing a big hair with a flower in it. People are dancing around her everywhere. There are disco balls and soap bubbles. In the middle of the video she wears an golden dress and a new hair style. A mysterious man wearing black sunglasses is seen in the crowd of dancing people and apparently Estefan are looking for him, but they never appear together. Towards the end Estefan again changes her look into a more modernistic look, before she is seen leaving the club, with the photographers waiting outside.
