"Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" (transl. "I'm Not That Woman") is a song recorded by Mexican singer Paulina Rubio for her fifth studio album, Paulina (2000). It was released as the fourth single from Paulina on April 2, 2001. After meeting with its writers Christian De Walden and Ralf Stemmann in Spain, Rubio recorded several versions of the song, including a Spanish version written by Carlos Toro Montoro. The pop rock-inspired song, produced by Marcello Azevedo, has self-empowerment lyrics.
Upon its release, "Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" received positive reviews from music critics, who described the song as both musically and lyrically innovative, and it is considered a feminist anthem and recognized as one of Rubio's signature songs. It also achieved commercial success, becoming Rubio's fourth single to reach number one in Mexico. In the United States, it peaked at number four and number seven on Billboard's Latin Pop Airplay and Hot Latin Tracks, respectively.
The accompanying music video for "Yo No Soy Esa Mujer", directed by Gustavo Garzón, was considered as a thematic adventure through Rubio's past videos. It received a "Best Music Video" nomination at the 3rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards.[1] The original version of the song, "Not That Kind of Girl", was included on Rubio's sixth and first English studio album, Border Girl (2002). It not was released as a single, but Universal released the song to Australia, Italy, UK and US contemporary hit radio only.
