Border Girl is the first English-language album and the sixth solo studio album of the Mexican singer Paulina Rubio. The album was released in North America by Universal Records on June 18, 2002. Border Girl includes Rubio's most successful single in English, "Don't Say Goodbye", which opened doors for Rubio in new markets such as the United Kingdom. The next three singles, "The One You Love" and "I'll Be Right Here (Sexual Lover)" failed to gain airplay due the medium promotion of the album. It had sold almost 2.5 million of copies worldwide[1].
