Music video

The accompanying music video for "Algo Tienes" was directed by Dago González, and it was filmed in Torrance, California.[1] Its shooting lasted for 20 hours, and featured P J López in its photography, and Cristóbal Valecillos as production designer.[2] Director González said about working with the singer: "Working with Pau has been one of the most rewarding experiences, because she has no problems, she is very open and fanned. When I would make a suggestion she always would add something. When I would say "Go" she would say "Yes", but that she would do more, and this makes her like no other".[3]

It depicts Rubio as a sensual DJ who transforms a construction site into a party. She can be seen completely naked in some scenes, covered with a yellow police tape written "Caution".[4]

Chart performance

Although "Algo Tienes" did not reach the US Billboard Hot 100, it managed to reach number 21 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart,[5] and number four on the Hot Latin Songs – becoming the album's second consecutive top ten single – and number one on the Latin Pop Airplay.[6][7]

Live performances

Rubio performed the song at the 2005 Latin Billboard Music Awards, wearing a feathered headdress, similar to those of Native Americans.[8] In 2015, MSN called it one of the best performances in the awards show of all time, stating that "A combination of the wardrobe, choreography and her sexy looks that made Paulina's performance one to remember".[9]
