"Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" (English: "I Am Not That Woman") is a song recorded by Mexican singer Paulina Rubio for her fifth studio album, Paulina (2000). It was released as the fourth single from Paulina on April 2, 2001. After meeting with producers Christian De Walden and Ralf Stemmann in Spain, Rubio recorded several versions for the album, including a Spanish version written by Carlos Toro Montoro. The pop rock song, produced by Marcello Azevedo, has self-empowerment lyrics.

Upon release, "Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" received positive reviews from music critics, who described the song as both musically and lyrically innovative, and it is considerate a "feminist anthem" and recognized as one of Rubio's signature songs. "Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" also achieved commercial success. In the United States, the single peaked at number four and number seven on Billboard's Latin Pop Airplay and Hot Latin Tracks, respectively.

The accompanying music video for "Yo No Soy Esa Mujer", directed by Gustavo Garzón, was considered as a thematic adventure through Rubio's past videos. It received a "Best Music Video" nomination at the 3rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards.[1] The original version of the song, "Not That Kind of Girl", was included on Rubio's sixth studio album, Border Girl (2002). It not was released as a single, but Universal released the song to Australia, Italy, UK and US contemporary hit radio only.

Composition and lyrics

"Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" incorporates a prominent guitar and bass sound, according to Billboard's staff "the track kicks off with a laid-back guitar loop that serves as the canvas to Rubio’s raspy voice." Lyrically, the song critique of sexism with the social taboo coverture and other marriage regulations. She addresses gender double standards through lines such as, "Nunca fue un contrato ni una imposición (It was never a contract or an imposition) / Yo no soy esa mujer, esa niña perdida, la que firma un papel y te entrega su vida (I am not that woman, that lost girl, the one who signs a paper and gives you her life)", evokes marriage. Many publications interpreted this part as Rubio's response to "the false idea of love" that dictates that women should stay home and be obedient.[2]

The song reflected the social perception of feminism, especially through the lyrics "No me convertiré en el eco de tu voz / En un rincón, yo no soy esa mujer (I will not become the echo of your voice / In a corner, I am not that woman)".

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" was directed by Gustavo Garzón. The video includes several action films references, such as Mission: Impossible, Austin Powers and Charlie's Angels.[3]

Reception and impact

In 2003, "Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" received the "Latin Award" at the 2003 BMI London Awards.[4] Spin magazine included "Yo No Soy Esa Mujer" on their The 50 Best Songs of the Year 2000 list.[5] The Ecuadorian news website Expreso highlighted it as a song "that penetrated the souls of the women who saw in its lyrics a hope to get out of submission and oppression, victims of those macho men."[6] In 2021, Billboard named it one of the 100 Greatest Songs of 2001, by noting it "soundtracked the golden age of Latin pop in the new millennium."[7]
