Carpe Diem is the third studio album by Mexican pop singer Belinda, released on March 23, 2010 through Capitol Latin. The album is primarily electropop music, a departure from the rock pop sound of her previous albums. The album debuted on the Billboard Top Latin Albums at number 12, number 3 in the Latin pop albums and number 21 on the Top Heatseekers Album. In Mexico, entered at No. 7 and No. 5 in the category in Spanish.
On March 25, two days after its release, Carpe Diem was certified gold with the help of Belinda offering an autograph session in Mexico City, more than 30,000 copies were sold. The name of the album "Carpe Diem" comes from the Latin language, a phrase that literally means "Long live the day" or "Seize the day", coined by the Roman poet Horace, 12, who was adopted by Belinda who was inspired by the movie Dead Poets Society. Carpe Diem contains, as described the singer herself, a much more happier upbeat sound with positive lyrics as opposed to her previous album Utopía that had a darker more personal tone to it.
Among the producers is the Mexican Golden Baqueiro, who produced the theme "Sal de mi Piel" in Los Angeles, also was attended by Jimmy Harry, who produced the theme "Egoista", and previously had worked on her previous album Utopía. The album also features production by French artist Arno Elias, who produced the theme "Amor Transgénico" as well as the participation of the Spanish Carlos Jean. In addition, Belinda composed most of the material as well as became much involved for the image of the album along with her father who was also the executive producer of the album.
The album name is a Latin phrase meaning "Seize the Day" coined by the Roman poet Horace. The album includes 11 tracks and 12 on the iTunes and European editions, composed and produced by herself and would be a change in her musical styles heard on her previous album, Utopía, also include a song titled "Cuida De Mí" written specially for her late grandfather, who died in 2008.
