"Rhythm Divine" ("Ritmo Total" in Spanish countries) is a song by Spanish recording artist Enrique Iglesias, taken from his fourth studio album and debut English-language record Enrique (1999). It was released on 9 October 1999 by Interscope Records as the second single from the project. The song was written by Paul Barry and Mark Taylor, while production was handled by Taylor and Brian Rawling. An accompanying music video was directed by Francis Lawrence. The single sold over three million copies in 2000, topping the Spanish Singles Chart for eight weeks and reaching the top 10 in Finland, Italy, New Zealand and Norway.

According to Billboard in the single review, Enrique Iglesias delivers this "savvy follow-up bid for top 40 longevity", this single is "precisely the kind of song that should ensure this crossover artist's chance to dance up the ladder of success". Also makes a comparison with fellow Latin performer Ricky Martin: "Unlike peer Ricky Martin, Iglesias is far from overexposed, leaving plenty of room for listeners to be surprised by his potential as a singer, performer, and presence to grow comfortable with on the top 40 airwaves". About the song structure: "Masterfully produced, passionately sung, and ready for the kind of video exploration that will further reveal this gorgeous young artist as one of the blossoming solo sex symbols of the new millennium, this song-written by "Bailamos" scribes Mark Taylor and Paul Barry-is a solid sell for fans of the new sound of the Latin nation, replete with Spanish guitars, a gutsy vocal, and rhythms that will move the masses in a single spin. Oh, so solid, "Rhythm Divine" will propel another new hero to the upper reaches of the charts in just a few short weeks. A sure sell-through from his upcoming English-language debut, the songs deserves a big bravo for sheer pop merit".
