Entre a Mi Mundo (English: Enter My World) is the third studio album by American singer Selena, released on May 6, 1992, by EMI Latin. In his recording debut with Selena y Los Dinos, guitarist Chris Pérez had fallen in love with Selena—which was disapproved by the singer's father and manager of the group Abraham Quintanilla, Jr.—and eloped on April 2, 1992 after Abraham fired Pérez from the band. Abraham later apologized and accepted their relationship and Pérez back in the band. Selena's brother and music producer A.B. Quintanilla, oversaw production of Entre a Mi Mundo and composed most of the tracks on the album along with band members Ricky Vela and Pete Astudillo. The group's diverse backgrounds aided in the diversity of the genres explored on Entre a Mi Mundo, resulting as the band's most innovative recording. It included music genres ranging from synthesized Tejano cumbia to R&B and rock music.
The album's lyrics emphasize female empowerment and self-assertion, while it explores themes such as unrequited love, cheating partners, and teen romance. Entre a Mi Mundo was promoted through live performances in the United States as well as a high-profile border press tour in Mexico. Selena's performance in Mexico garnered the singer critical acclaim from the Mexican media, who touted the singer as "an artist of the people". She was called the biggest Tejano act in the country after her performance in Nuevo Leon attracted 70,000 attendees. Entre a Mi Mundo received generally positive reviews by music critics who called it her "breakthrough album". It peaked atop the US Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart for eight consecutive months. It was named the second best-selling regional Mexican album of all-time by Billboard magazine and became the first album by a female Tejano singer to sell 300,000 units, becoming the best-selling female Tejano record of all-time; her 1994 album Amor Prohibido broke this record. Entre a Mi Mundo has been certified six-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
