I am worried that there could be a good bit more said about this song; for as big an artist as Selena, this is not a lot of material. The article is kinda flimsy as it stands and comes close to not covering the major aspects. Go back to the sources, maybe look in WP:TWL beyond ProQuest, and beef it up.

This song isn't that well-known compared to some of her other recordings. – jona ✉ 18:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

I really struggled with this one, and I have felt on a knife-edge about how to handle this. I wish there was more. This page still clamors for it. Yet I can't find much of anything, and pages on similar topics are of similar size, so I am going to pass it. It feels like this early recording became way more notable after she died.

• Selena's decimal anniversary of her death should probably be the tenth anniversary of Selena's death — this isn't an idiomatic use for decimal, though it would be for décimo

Sounds good, @AJona1992. I had no problems with the media. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:22, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
