"En la Obscuridad" (English: "In the Darkness") is the second single from the Spanish born-Mexican singer Belinda's fourth studio album Catarsis; it was released on iTunes in Mexico on January 8, 2013 by Capitol Latin.
Due to the success of the single "Egoísta" featuring Pitbull from Belinda's third studio album,Carpe Diem, Belinda announced in an interview for a Mexican local radio station, that she would be collaborating with Pitbull again for the second single from her album Catarsis, on a song entitled "I Love You, Te Quiero". However, for unknown reasons, the single release was cancelled, and her record label opted to release "En La Oscuridad" instead, which was released to Latin radio stations on November 12, 2012.
The single was released on iTunes on January 8, 2013.
The video was shot on the 18th and 20 December 2012 and was directed by Daniel Shain. It is inspired by the movie, Inception, directed by Christopher Nolan. According to magazine TVNotas, the music video was shot in various locations around the Historic center of Mexico City, as well as at Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. This is the most expensive music video in Belinda's career to date, at a cost of US$2 million.
The scenery is an 8 tons revolving structure; also there was used a hot air balloon which flew over the streets of the first shots of the city. The scenery was created by Belinda's father, Ignacio Peregrín, and it took two days of construction. For the wardrobe, Belinda was inspired by several important figures in the Mexican culture like the Virgin of Guadalupe and Frida Kahlo, but with a sophisticated touch. Gustavo Matta participated in the creation of the look called "Mexican chic", which was originally Belinda's mother, Belinda Schüll's idea. Her romantic interest is the Brazilian model Pedro Arnon.
She performed "En La Obscuridad" at the Premios Telehit 2012, Tour Positivo and Mexico Sueña. She has made many interviews around Europe, Latin America and United States to promote the single, she also has been on a promo tour across United States, Spain and Mexico.
