Arrasando is the sixth studio album by Mexican singer Thalía, released on 25 April 2000 by EMI Latin. In many interviews during the album launch, Thalía said that this album was different from her previous ones, because it shows her turn to the Dance/techno element, describing it as a rhythm-fusion between many types of music. In addition, it includes two covers: the South African hit "Pata Pata" and Gloria Estefan's "Lucky Girl".
The album received excellent reviews around the world, increasing her fame as an international pop star. It became a smash hit album for Thalía. It received two nominations at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2001 for Female Pop Vocal Album and Best Engineered Album and won the Grammy in the latter one. Arrasando was also nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards of 2001, losing to Paulina by fellow Mexican singer Paulina Rubio.
As of September 2001[update], the album had sold close to 2 million copies worldwide.
In 1997, Thalia released her fifth studio album, "Amor a la Mexicana", which was certified 2x Platinum in Argentina, Chile, Spain and United States, later she starred the Mexican telenovela Rosalinda, in 1999. During the time, the singer started recording her sixth album, claiming that, "she wanted to prepare a quality product, so it took almost a year to make it." "It's true that it took a while but it worth the wait, because it comes as the album title says, 'triumphing' (Spanish: Arrasando) strongly internationally." For the album, Thalia wrote nine tracks, with the help of other songwriters, such as Kike Santander and Roberto Blades, while Emilio Estefan Jr. produced the album.EMI Latin's press manager Rosario Valeriano claimed that, "All we know is that Mr. Stefan trusted Thalia, when it comes to writing her own music, and this shows that aside from singing very well, she can also show how good she is on the writing part."
