Gran City Pop (English: Great City Pop) is the ninth studio album by Mexican singer Paulina Rubio released by Universal Music Group on June 23, 2009. The album's first single "Causa y Efecto" became Rubio's first number one single on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart since "Ni Una Sola Palabra" in 2006. It was also Rubio's fourth number one single in her career on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs and her 3rd consecutive album to come out with a number one single on the Hot Latin Songs chart.
On December 2, 2009, Gran City Pop received a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album.
The production features compositions by Estéfano, Los Rabanes, Jeremías, Noel Schajris, Gian Marco Zignago, Lester Méndez, and Mario Domm. Paulina prepared her album with her own songs with the help of Coti, who had a big influence in the writing of the album. Speaking to a Mexican radio program, the "Golden Girl" said that the new material presented many changes. She explained: "[...] at the same time I remain very loyal to my music; my rancheras, boleros, and simple rhythms like the songs we used to listen to as children". She also added: "This new production will have songs by Mario Domm, the leader of Camila, and Estéfano, but there are some songs of mine with Coti; it's an album to get out the child within us".
According to her web site, the idea of Gran City Pop is "an imaginary and enormous city where Paulina groups in one vision, some of the life and musical experiences lived during the last years in many cities of the world; experiences that have marked her life forever and now she wants to share in ten songs with influences that enrich this new stage of her career. In the album she collaborates with Estéfano, Chris Rodríguez, Cachorro López, Léster Méndez and Coti".
