Cuéntame (Eng: Tell me) is the sixth studio album released by Mexican performer Lucerito. It was released in 1989. Most of the songs included on the album were used in the film Deliciosa Sinvergüenza (1989); the album also includes a cover of The Pet Shop Boys' "It's a Sin" titled "Hojas Secas". Cuéntame is one of the biggest sellers on the singer's career, and was the album that inicitated the transition from teenager, being the last album using the diminutive Lucerito.
Cuéntame was executive produced by Spanish producer Miguel Blasco and produced by José Ramón Florez, with Florez writing most of the tracks included. Five singles were released, included the title track which peaked at number 2 in the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart in the United States; "Corazón a la Deriva" (also a top-ten hit in the same chart), "Tanto", "Madre", and "Caso Perdido", were also used to promote the album.
Cuéntame coincided with the 10 year celebration of Lucero's career, and also was the album designed to show her mature stage. Although Melody, the record label, refused to change the diminutive Lucerito to Lucero, for marketing reasons, Cuéntame is the last album that carried the diminutive, closing "infant stage" of her career; Lucero's following release, Con Mi Sentimiento (1990) was the first album to achieve this. The singer recorded the album from January to March 1989, in Madrid, Spain, and Bologna, Italy, places where shed had the opportunity to meet some European countries for the first time. Executive producer Miguel Blasco, was commissioned to create the new image for the singer, including art design, clothing and music. J.R. Florez and Loris Ceroni were responsible for selecting and composing all the music and lyrics of the album along with Gian Pierto Di Felisatti. Blasco's idea was to show Lucero as a much more mature singer and with a stronger image (Lucero appears in the front cover in black leather with studs, heavy earrings and curly hair).
