Background

Pau-Latina marks Paulina's return to the Spanish-language market after her English debut album. For the production of the album, Paulina collaborated with songwriters and producers Chris Rodríguez, M. Benito, Andrés Levin, Ileana Padrón, Coti, Andahí, Adrian Schinoff, T. Méndez, E. Pérez, José de Jesús, Marco Antonio Solís, Jorge Villamizar, Xandra Uribe, Emilio Estefan, Ricardo Gaitán, Alberto Gaitán, Nicolás Tovar, Tony Mardini, Tom McWilliams, Juan Carlos Pérez-Soto, Reyli, Angie Chirino, Tim Mitchell, Clay Ostwald, C. Brant, Richard Vission, G. Brown, and A. Cee. Also, this is the second time since Planeta Paulina that Paulina participates as a songwriter in three of the album’s tracks: “My Friend, Mi Amigo”, “Baila Que Baila” y “Dame Tu Amor”.

The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award in 2004 for Best Female Pop Vocal Album and a Grammy Award for Best Latin Pop Album in 2005. With this album, Rubio became one of the few female Latin singers to achieve four top ten singles from a single album on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart: "Te Quise Tanto" (#1), "Algo Tienes" (#4), "Dame Otro Tequila" (#1) and "Mía" (#8). Also, Pau-Latina was number one in sales in Mexico as well as the U.S. on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.

Tour

Rubio started her first solo concert tour named "Pau-lenques" in support of this album.

Singles

Pau-Latina spawned four official singles, giving Paulina her first two number one hits on Latin radio in the U.S.: “Te Quise Tanto” and “Dame Otro Tequila”. With this album, Paulina became one of the few artists to have four Top 10 singles from the same album on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart.

"Te Quise Tanto" is Rubio's most successful single to date, which spent six non-consecutive weeks at #1 and earned several music awards. The album's third single, "Dame Otro Tequila", also climbed to #1 in December 2004. Although "Algo Tienes" and "Mía" were the only other two singles released by Rubio's record label, that did not prevent tracks like "My Friend, Mi Amigo", "Perros", "Alma En Libertad", and "Volverás" from gaining airplay with no promotion on behalf of Paulina's record label.
