The video for "Rebelde" was directed by Pedro Damian and was shot in Desierto de los Leones in Mexico.

The video for the song features the band arriving to a beautiful mansion, as they get to know the place, several scenes of them performing the song on a famous avenue in Mexico City, finally they have a welcome party inside the mansion and perform in a pool.

[edit] Chart performance

The song was used to the soap opera's Rebelde first, successful season. The song stayed in the #1 spot for more than 2 months in Mexico. It also reached the top position in Brazil, Colombia, Chile and many other latin-american countries.

It's the band biggest hit and flagship song and was the first opening song.

The song gave them recognition, but the band's biggest U.S. hit is not quite the one that they have around the world (Rebelde), since it only peaked at #37 on Billboard's Top 50 Latin Songs, while "Solo quédate en silencio" peaked at #2 and stayed there over a month.
