Controversy

Just like Thalía's first single from the album, the song caused much controversy for its seductive lyrics and was even prohibited in some radio stations and television in Mexico.[2][3]

Promotion

Despite the song being banned in radio stations in Mexico, it still managed to be a hit in Spain as well as some Latin American countries.[4] The song had success in Spain thanks to Thalía becoming the new musical hostess for La Gala VIP Noche from the Spanish television network Telecinco[5][6]
