"Empezar Desde Cero" (English: "Start from Zero") is a song recorded by Mexican pop group RBD for their fourth Spanish studio album, Empezar Desde Cero. It was released as the second single from the album. On January 29, 2008, Esmas confirmed the release of the song, after it won the official next single poll on the group's official website with 40% of the votes, leaving "Y No Puedo Olvidarte" behind with 30% of the votes.[1] The fact that "Y No Puedo Olvidarte" got almost one third of all votes made it the most-likely next single choice, after "Empezar desde Cero", and indeed it became the next single.

"Empezar Desde Cero" is the third Spanish solo-single since "No Pares" (sung by Dulce María) and "Sálvame" (sung by Anahi), most recently an English solo-single was released, "Tu Amor" (2006, sung by Christian). The song is mainly sung by Maite, but the other girls sing along in the chorus and in the bridge.

[edit] Music video

The video was shot on February 28, 2008 and premiered a month later on March 25 through RBD's Gyggs community.

The video starts with a 70's style title (RBD Empezar desde Cero). Then, a hole opens on the screen and shows Maite waking up, taking a bath and clothing, whereafter she meets her friends (Dulce and Anahí). So on, to the subway, she finds Christopher and Alfonso to wall up Maite in order for her to quickly change clothes. A new scene starts at the end of the chorus, showing Maite and Christian flirting, and then, Dulce María, Anahí and Maite tanning in the beach, and Christopher and Alfonso walking on the beach. It cuts to a scene where Maite is singing as a pop diva, dressed in a great black jacket, it cuts again, showing the entire group having fun together, and then the day ends. A new day starts, showing Maite on her routine, but now, meeting all her friends together and singing with them (and Dulce and Christopher talking inside a phone booth). The video ends with everyone singing together having drinks.
