Que Me Voy A Quedar

“Que Me Voy A Quedar” was composed with Argentine singer-songwriter Coti and Mexican singer Julieta Venegas, marking their second collaboration with Paulina Rubio since 2005 on the song “Nada Fue Un Error,” which was included on Coti's live album Esta Mañana y Otros Cuentos. It is a pop song with touches of dance music that lyrically speaks about the anguish and anxiety generated by being in an uncertain relationship. Although it is a repetitive melody, it invites reflection on courage, determination, and the process of personal empowerment.

After its release, the Los 40 portal praised the collaboration between Coti, Venegas, and Rubio, stating: “The trio of Coti, Julieta Venegas, and Paulina Rubio has the scent of success, and perhaps for that very reason they decided to join forces again in a song.”^[2]

The music video for “Que Me Voy A Quedar” was directed by Paula Falla, who at the time was a regular collaborator with Paulina Rubio's team. Falla produced and directed the clip, which features several excerpts from the Amor, Luz y Sonido Tour, which the singer took throughout Latin America, the United States, Spain, and other European countries.^[3] It premiered on Falla's YouTube channel on October 12, 2007, the same day the single was released.^[4]

The Spanish newspaper La Voz de Galicia noted that Rubio gives a nod to her childhood with images that evoke Galician summers. "Galicia is her ‘terra nai,’ as Julio Iglesias would say. Or rather, stepfather's land, since Carlos Vasallo, her mother's (Susana Dosamantes) second husband, had and still has a house in Trasanquelos (Cesuras), where the young Paulina spent several summers," wrote Rubén Ventureira in the aforementioned newspaper.^[5]
