Although the song was originally intended as a mariachi track, EMI Latin president Jose Behar believed that a mariachi recording would not appeal to the popular market. When the song was set to be released as the third single from the album, the group gave it to Argentine arranger Bebu Silvetti to rework into a pop-style track, and Behar asked Silvetti to "sweeten" the song to boost its airplay and chart performance. The result enhanced Selena's pop-radio success and was included in late 1994 reissues of "Amor Prohibido", subsequently replacing the original album version. Behar said in a "Billboard" interview that the song was "internalized" without affecting the originality of its recording.
