The song was intended to be released as the fourth single from La Chica Dorada, but due to the success and longevity of Rubio's massive selling in America over 1992 and the following new year, it was released in a handful of countries.

Also a favourite track among EMI Capitol label, the song also featured on the 1994 US compilation album Ricardo Montaner y Sus Amigos, one of just ten tracks included that were re-release as a single in the US.[4]
