The song's remix success on the dance charts earned the song a nomination Latin Dance Single Of The Year at the 2004 Latin Billboard Music Awards where she was competing against herself with the remix of the album's lead hit single I Want You.[9]
Music video
editThe music video (of both English and Spanish version) was directed by Antti Jokinen, and it was shot at CBGB's on the Bowery on July 23, being published on September 20, 2003.
