Amándote

After a multimillion contract with EMI Music in early 1994,[2] Thalía and her new label planned a makeover in the singer's repertoire to reach an even larger audience than she had won with Love, which was the best-selling album in her country, Mexico, with 500,000 copies sold.[3] For the new stage of her career, Thalía counted on the collaboration of several renowned composers, such as producer Emilio Estefan, who produced the first single from the album En éxtasis, entitled "Piel morena", which became the first song by the singer to enter on Latin charts of Billboard. For the second single, the song "Amándote" was chosen, a composition by A. B. Quintanilla III and Ricky Vela that received favorable reviews by AllMusic website and by the critic Joey Guerra of the Amazon website.[4][5] The name of the album came after the lyrics of the song in which she sings: "Amándote, quiero vivir, cada hora en éxtasis" (translation: Loving you, I want to live, every hour in ecstasy"). Remixes of the song were included in the EP Bailando en Éxtasis.[6]

The music was promoted on a substantial number of TV programs such as the Siempre en Domingo program on the Televisa channel.[7] The promotion of the album also included the recording of a music video which was shot in Miami and was directed by Peter Begman, the cinematographer was Germán Saracco.[8] It depicts Thalía wearing a pink bikini at a famous beach, playing beach volleyball and rollerblading around the city. Then she goes into a retro style and dances with her friends. There is a cameo appearance of the Spanish singer Julio Iglesias. It was the second time that they collaborated appearing in a music video.[9] The song became yet another hit in the singer's career, peaking at #4 in Mexico City. [10]
