El Tiempo es Oro (Spanish: "Time Is Gold") is the third studio album by Mexican pop singer Paulina Rubio, released simultaneously on 21 March 1995 by EMI Mexico in 18 countries.[1] It was recorded in the autumn and winter of 1994 in Madrid, Spain, and Miami, Florida. The album was produced by Miguel Blasco as with her previous studio albums, but included new producers and collaborations including Marco Flores, Adrián Posse and Claudio Bermúdez. Aged 23 at the time, Rubio was more involved in the creating and arranging process compared to her two previous albums, leading her to a new, bolder image and a more dance-influenced sound, exemplified by the lead single. El Tiempo Es Oro deals with many subjects about love including relationships, passion, crushes, cheating, disappointment, and happiness.

The album spawned four singles. "Te Daría Mi Vida" became one of Rubio's biggest successes with the EMI label, charting inside the top ten in Latin America and selling more than 140,000 copies in Mexico and the United States combined.[2] The music video was an output of her "girl in love", showing Rubio at her funniest and most spontaneous. The album had a fleeting promotion in Spain and is noted for beginning her international pop singing career.

The following singles—"Nada De Ti", and "Hoy Te Dejé De Amar"—all peaked inside the top 10 in Mexico. The last single, "Bésame En La Boca", was released to promote the film of the same name, in which Rubio also starred. She further promoted the album with a show touring South America. The album was re-issued in Spain in 2001 by Virgin Records.
