Music video

At the beginning, the public could not imagine the official video of "Mia" because the song had masculine lyrics and was supposed to be sung by a man. But when the video came out unexpectedly, it showed a cooler and fallen in love Paulina Rubio. During the video shooting Paulina said: - "I think the video is a visual image that goes far beyond, perhaps the song can say some lyrics, but what you're looking at can be completely another."-. The video really has no story. But what the Argentinian director Piko Talarico tried to make was the reflection of a person in the mirror who has different readings. However, although the video was somehow difficult to convey to the public, it achieved wide acceptance by viewers.
