==Music video== The accompanying music video for "Amor de Mujer" was directed by Ángel Flores, and was filmed in the fall of 1992. It begins with takes of Rubio lying on her bed. In a close-up, Rubio sings the song as if she were telling the story of her first love with a bad boy, played by José Cabalán Macari, while wearing smooth hair shines and an iconic Chanel necklace.<ref name="AmorDeMujer-outfit">{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/Moon04ofjuly/status/1097959198527115264 |title=Paulina Rubio by Chanel |work=Twitter |language=es|access-date=February 28, 2019}}</ref> Immediately, the video changes to sepia tone with Rubio playing the song and wearing a top, shorts and a leather jacket while the wind moves her blonde hair as she tries to put on a leather beret.
