Ximena Sariñana is the homonym second studio album released by Mexican singer Ximena Sariñana. After the success of Mediocre, with sales of more than 100,000 copies in Mexico, Warner Music Group producers proposed that Ximena Sariñana record a second album. The album contains ten songs in English and one in Spanish, the latter produced by Natalia Lafourcade. Sariñana entered the studio in 2009 when she began recording a song for the soundtrack of the second installment of the Twilight series, Twilight: New Moon.

Sariñana composed and wrote an estimated thirty-five songs of which only 10 were selected to form the track list of the eponymous second album. She has performed in several concerts touring with Sara Bareilles.

Following this tour, she began filming the video for her first single from the second album, "Different", which was choreographed by Michael Rooney. The video was released on July 26, 2011 by AOL and has over 1,450,000 views on YouTube.[2]

Ximena's sound has been summarized as pop/electropop, but critics praised her ability to write.
