Thalía singles chronology

"Arrasando" is the third single from Thalía's 2000 Arrasando album, and it was written by herself. A list song, it is recognized as one of her signature songs. Also, it has an English version called "It's My Party". Although both share a general theme of optimism about the human race moving on from mistakes of the past, the English version is an entirely new lyric, rather than a translation. "It's My Party" later appeared on the album Thalía's Hits Remixed.

Music video

The music video was shot in Los Angeles, and it was directed by Simon Brand, who had directed also her two previous videos. Two versions of this video were filmed - Spanish and English.

Reception

The song was also well received by critics. Joey Guerra from Vibe called the "A fiery hip-swiveling rhythm which effortlessly blended independent-woman themes with Thalía's own sexy persona."^[2]

The song entered the top ten in Mexico and Greece. The English version, "It's My Party" registered an audience impression of over 3 million between April 9 throughout April 22 in 2001, according to Broadcast Data Systems (BDS).^[3]

Challenge

In November 2019, Thalía posted a video of her rapping the song a capella. The video went viral and started the #ArrasandoChallenge in which the people record themselves trying to rap to the song.^[4]
