"Solo quédate en silencio" is the second single released from RBD's debut album Rebelde. The second single was first meant to be "Un poco de tu amor", but due the heavy rotation of "Solo quédate en silencio", it was chosen to be second single. The song became RBD's second major hit in Mexico, staying at the number one spot for almost 1 month in a row. It became RBD's first successful single internationally, topping several charts all over Latin America and the U.S. The song peaked number two in Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks, plus a number twenty-three (#23) on the U.S. Hot Ringtones chart and number one in Hot Latin Pop Airplay chart.

The song received good reviews by critics and give RBD mainstream radio airplay. It was also used to promote the first season of their soap opera Rebelde.

Also an English version of the song was recorded in 2006. The song is called "Keep It Down Low" and appears on RBD's first English studio album, Rebels.

The video was the second video directed by Pedro Damian. It was, just like "Rebelde," shot in Desierto de los Leones in Mexico. When the band was shooting the music video for "Rebelde," they also shot some takes for the second video, being "Solo quédate en silencio". The video features the band performing on a famous avenue in Mexico City, unlike "Rebelde"'s video, plus extra footage from the band in radio station concerts and different scenes from the band in different parts of Mexico performing.
