Data Insight

Entre a Mi Mundo is built almost entirely by A.B. Quintanilla, who produced every track and wrote or co-wrote most of them with Pete Astudillo or Ricky Vela. Selena's single writing credit is the closing ballad 'Amame,' shared with Astudillo. The breakthrough hit 'Como la Flor' came from the Quintanilla and Astudillo team, underlining how her star turn was carried by songs written for her voice.

Entre a Mi Mundo is the third studio album by Selena, released in 1992 on EMI Latin and her commercial breakthrough. It became the first Tejano album by a female artist to sell over 300,000 copies, powered by 'Como la Flor,' the song that turned her into a Tejano superstar. A.B. Quintanilla produced the entire record and wrote or co-wrote most of it, frequently with Pete Astudillo and keyboardist Ricky Vela, while Selena co-wrote the closing ballad 'Amame.' The album cemented her as the leading voice of the genre heading into her peak years.
