"Inalcanzable" is a song by Mexican pop group RBD. Written by Carlos Lara and co-produced with Pedro Damián, it was released as the lead single for the group's fourth Spanish-language studio album, Empezar Desde Cero (2007). The melancholic ballad combines piano with acoustic guitars and some wind instruments in its production.[1]

RBD confirmed the release of the single at the "Worldwide RBD Day" press conference held on October 4, 2007. The song was released to radio stations and made available as a digital download on October 8.[2] The song was well received by music critics and garnered award nominations on Premios Lo Nuestro, Premios Orgullosamente Latino and Premios Juventud.[3] The song's accompanying music video went on to win an Orgullosamente Latino Award in 2008 in the category for 'Latin Music Video of the Year'. The song's official remix, which features reggaeton duo Jowell & Randy and reggaeton solo artist De La Ghetto, also won an award, in the category 'The Perfect Combo' at the 2008 Premios Juventud.[4]

The single peaked at #6 on the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, becoming the group's last top-ten hit on the ranking, but reached #2 on the US Billboard Latin Pop Songs subchart.[5][6][7]
