Momentos Intimos is a compilation album by American singer Selena and released posthumously on March 23, 2004, through EMI Latin. The album contains 24 tracks, though the last eight are spoken liner notes provided by the singer's family, friends, and her Los Dinos band. The songs on the album range from "Como Te Quiero Yo A Ti" (1988), a re-recorded version modernized and remixed on the album, to "Puede Ser", an unreleased duet with Nando "Guero" Dominguez, recorded two weeks before Selena was shot and killed in March 1995. Following Selena's death, her father Abraham Quintanilla expressed his interest in persevering his daughter's memory through her works. Selena's family has been criticized by fans and the media for exploiting the singer and cannibalizing her murder by commercializing her repertoire.
The album has received a mixed response from music critics, Ramiro Burr called it "another new collection", while a reporter from El Norte, believed fans of the singer would enjoy the release. The album yielded strong sales and was reported to be popular by consumers. Momentos Intinmos peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and number seven on the US Regional Mexican Albums chart. "Como Te Quiero Yo a Ti" was released as the lead single of the album. In 2017, Momentos Intimos was certified Gold (Latin) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting 30,000 units consisting of sales and on-demand streaming.
