Brava! (English: Brave!) is the tenth studio album and second bilingual album by Mexican recording artist Paulina Rubio, released on November 15, 2011 by Universal Music Latino. Two of its three singles "Me Gustas Tanto" and "Boys Will Be Boys" became hits for Rubio.
In 2012, Brava! was reissued as two expanded editions titled Brava! Reload in Europe and Bravísima! in North America. At the same time, these expansions were also separately released as EPs in their respective regions containing the newly added songs.
In early August 2010, Paulina talked on her first Twitcam about her upcoming projects including her next studio album. She said that her new album will be Spanglish and will include songs in Spanish and English. She also hoped that the first single of the new material would be released in the middle or the end of 2011. In May 2011, Paulina announced on Twitter that she and Moroccan/Swedish producer/songwriter RedOne were working together on new music in Madrid.Billboard.com reported: "She's been working with RedOne and writing with Julio Reyes Copello, Casadiego, Espinoza Paz, Chino & Nacho and Claudia Brant." Rubio later confirmed that RedOne was producing most of the 10 tracks on the standard edition of the album, with some arrangements "between techno and rock band instruments like bass, drums and acoustic guitar."
Paulina confirmed the titles of some of the tracks that would be on the album such as "Sabes Que Te Amo" and "Hoy Me Toca A Mí", which is a Spanglish duet with Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas. She also confirmed "Olvídate De Mí" and "Volvamos A Empezar", which is a ranchera mixed with a rock style feel. She also talked about "Cásate Con Tu Mamá", which is a song about a man with the Oedipus Complex Syndrome.Mexican composer Espinoza Paz confirmed that he worked with Paulina on a song titled "Me Voy". The song "Que Estuvieras Aquí" is a song dedicated to Rubio's father, who died early in 2011. As for the English songs, Universal Music confirmed the titles of two English songs, "All Around The World" and "Heat Of The Night". The album was recorded between New York, Los Angeles, Jamaica and Madrid. The album would result in a new sound for Paulina, as she worked with electronica and dance oriented music.
