It was released by CBS Records in 1990 as the first single from Franco De Vita's studio album Extranjero, becoming his first number-one single in the Billboard Top Latin Songs chart. The music video recorded for the song earned the International Viewer's Choice Award at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards.
