Besitos

"Besitos" ("Little Kisses") is a song recorded by American singer Selena on her eponymous debut album with EMI Latin. It was composed by A. B. Quintanilla and Pete Astudillo. Upon signing a recording contract with EMI Latin, A. B. was cautioned that failure to produce a successful album would result in his replacement by a company-approved candidate. The group Los Bad Boyz, composed of Astudillo and keyboardist Joe Ojeda, initially opened for Selena y Los Dinos before integrating themselves into the band's lineup. Astudillo's songwriting debut came in the form of "Besitos", a composition in which the lyrics convey a longing for the protagonist's lover's kisses and a desire to be their source of happiness.

Critics praised the song for serving as a template for the group's incorporation of cumbia music into their sound in subsequent recordings. The two-part limited drama Selena: The Series (2020–21), distributed on Netflix, depicts the creation of "Besitos" with Christian Serratos portraying Selena opposite Gabriel Chavarria as A. B. Following the show's release, "Besitos" ascended to number 19 on the United States Billboard Latin Digital Song Sales chart. Mexican singer Mary Boquitas recorded a rendition of the song for the all-star tribute album Mexico Recuerda a Selena (2005).
