"No Pares" is a song by Mexican pop group RBD, from their second live album, Live in Hollywood (2006). It was the first and only single released from the album. The song was written by Lynda Thomas and performed by Dulce María. "No Pares" won the Orgullosamente Latino Award for Canción Latina 2007 (Latin Song 2007), beating the group's own "Ser o Parecer".^[1]

Background and release

"No Pares" was a new song written by Thomas and performed by Dulce María during the second leg of the group's Tour Generación RBD, which was reworked to now be mainly in support of their second studio album Nuestro Amor. The band's show at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California, was recorded on January 21, 2006, and released on April 4, as their second live material. "No Pares" appears two times on the album; first as the seventh track, which is the acoustic live version, and again as the last track, this one being the studio version with pop rock stylings, and featuring the voices of Thomas, producer Carlos Lara, and bandmate Maite Perroni on the choruses. Both versions were used as radio singles.

Composition and release

"No Pares" was written by Mexican singer-songwriter Lynda Thomas, who had previously contributed uncredited vocals on the band's first two Spanish albums, only using a pseudonym for co-writing the track "Liso, Sensual" from Nuestro Amor.

Music video

No official music video was shot for the song. Therefore, the live performance taken from the 'Live in Hollywood' DVD was used to promote the single. The video was edited to promote "No Pares" on many music channels and cut down to around one mintue and a half to serve as the fourth opening for the third season of the telenovela Rebelde.
