Background and production

Since her first studio album on the EMI label Thalía's albums were released with added remixes of some songs as bonus tracks. In 1997, after the success of the album '' En éxtasis'' EMI released an EP entitled ''Bailando en Éxtasis'' which included remixes of the album, but none of the remixes from the EP were included in ''Thalía's Hits Remixed'', instead the Hitmakers Version of " Piel Morena" that was added, that version appeared in the album ''Por Amor'' (French version of the album '' Amor a la Mexicana'') and was used to promote the album in Brazil. From the next Thalía's album ''Amor a la Mexicana'', "Mujer Latina" (Remix "España"), "Por Amor" (Primera Vez Remix) and "Amor a la Mexicana" (Cuca's Fiesta Mix) were added, the latter was the version released as a single in
