The song was originally written for Crystal, a blind singer who collaborated with Andrade. Its lyrics tell the story of a blind woman listening to the news on television expecting better times. Crystal attended a concert by Juan Gabriel, during which he sang a song for her. According to her, he was upset and believed she was looking to Juan Gabriel to become her new producer. Andrade decided to give the song to Yuri instead.[1][2]
