"Arrasando" is the third single from Thalía's 2000 Arrasando album, and it was written by herself. A list song, it is recognized as one of her signature songs. Also, it has an English version called "It's My Party". Although both share a general theme of optimism about the human race moving on from mistakes of the past, the English version is an entirely new lyric, rather than a translation. "It's My Party" later appeared on the album Thalía's Hits Remixed.

Music video

[edit]

The music video was shot in Los Angeles, and it was directed by Simon Brand, who had directed also her two previous videos. Two versions of this video were filmed - Spanish and English.

Reception

[edit]

The song was also well received by critics. Joey Guerra from Vibe called the "A fiery hip-swiveling rhythm which effortlessly blended independent-woman themes with Thalía's own sexy persona."[2]

The song entered the top ten in Mexico and Greece. The English version, "It's My Party" registered an audience impression of over 3 million between April 9 throughout April 22 in 2001, according to Broadcast Data Systems (BDS).[3]

Challenge

[edit]

In November 2019, Thalía posted a video of her rapping the song a capella. The video went viral and started the #ArrasandoChallenge in which the people record themselves trying to rap to the song.[4]
