Three videos were made for the song. For the original version and for 2 remixes. The first music video was directed by Benny Corral and released in July 1997. It is mostly shot in a Mexican casa where Thalia walks around, sleeps in various places (a hammock, a large bed and a chair) and interacts with various typically Mexican props (such as a sombrero and several cacti). A number of shirtless men also feature prominently. The remixes videos were released in 1998 and feature Thalia as the sales clerk at a truck stop in the Mexican desert. Thalia alternates between flirting with the various men who drop by, and performing a choreographed routine with several other dancers.Official Versions and Remixes
