"Ni Una Sola Palabra" (English: "Not a Single Word") is a song by Mexican singer Paulina Rubio from her eighth studio album Ananda (2006). It was released on July 23, 2006, by Universal Latino, as the lead single from the album. Written by Xabi San Martín, keyboardist of the Spanish pop band La Oreja de Van Gogh, it was intended to be included in one of the band's albums, but Rubio took an interest in the song, and recorded it in 2005 at her home studio in Miami. The song was produced by Cachorro López. Musically, "Ni Una Sola Palabra" is a pop rock song with elements from synth-pop, new wave and electronic.
Music critics praised the track's contemporary production, catchiness and fresh. It became a commercial success, peaking at number-one on the record charts of major markets, including Billboard's charts Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Songs. Also, it became Rubio's third charting single on Billboard Hot 100, to date. The song was certified triple platinum in Spain. "Ni Una Sola Palabra" is often considered one of the best Latin pop songs of the 2000s.
Its accompanying music video, directed by Paul Boyd, portrayed Rubio as a glamorous superhero who saves her alter ego from a gang of thugs. Rubio performed the song such as at The Jay Leno Show, at the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize, and at the 2007 Latin Billboard Music Awards, where it was won in the category of Latin Pop Airplay Song of the Year, Female. Additionally, the song has been a regular staple in the set list of Rubio's concert tours, the first being the Amor, Luz y Sonido Tour (2007–2008).
