"Falsas Esperanzas" is the second single from Christina Aguilera's debut Spanish album, Mi Reflejo. Released in 2001, the single did not chart on the Billboard Hot 100 as it was primarily a Latin Music, and they do not really chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Of much debate is whether the song is truly the second single of the album, as "Genio Atrapado", "Por Siempre Tu, and Ven Conmigo (Solamente Tú) which are found on the album had been released prior. Nevertheless, those singles are Spanish versions of previous hit singes that were released before Mi Reflejo had been created. The single is most known for being Aguilera's first original (not a Spanish version of an English hit) Latin music uptempo with tropical/salsa flavors. The song was also the theme song for TV Azteca's telenovela Como en el Cine.

[edit] Song information

"Falsas Esperanzas" ("False Hopes") was written by Jorge Luis Piloto. In her first original Latin uptempo released as a single, Aguilera meets a man she seems to take a liking too. However, she is cautious, as she seems to have had relationship troubles before (perhaps after her troubles as expressed in "Pero Me Acuerdo De Tí"). Still she seems to like him and sets out a condition for him as she says, "..Si tú estás hablando en serio, Yo te escucho amor.." (If you're talking serious, I'm listening, baby). Nevertheless, although she lets down her guard a bit, Aguilera is still sick and tired of false hopes causing her to warn her propestive beau, "No me des, falsas esperanzas! No me engañes no, oh oh....No me digas, cuánto es que me amas! No te creo no, ooh ooh..."
