==Music video== [[File:Game with undressing.jpg|160px|left|thumb|A promotional video was inspired by the Middle Ages.]] A promotional video was released during a Mexican television show special in 1993 to promote ''La Chica Dorada'' alongside a promotional video for another song off the album, "Sangre Latina". The video's style portrays a Middle Ages look, where Paulina lays in a bed in a long, formal-looking ball gown.
According to Paulina, the song was inspired by a relationship with a boyfriend who died before beginning her solo career. In the song, she reflects poetically over the depression and sadness she experienced during that period.
==Live performances== Rubio performed the song on multiple television programs in different Latin American countries. It was one of the most performed songs from ''La Chica Dorada''. One of the most memorable performances was when she performed on the Mexican TV show ''Siempre en Domingo'', where she sang along with her three backup singers and her musicians.
