Nada Personal (Spanish for Nothing Personal or Don't Take It Personally) is the second album recorded by Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, and released in 1985. It was recorded at Moebio Studios in Buenos Aires and remastered in 2007 at Sterling Sound Studios in New York.

"Nada Personal" provided to the band at least three successful singles, which became the breakout songs for the band all over Ibero-America, the album showed Soda Stereo in a new musical direction focused on the British New Wave style, mainly. The most successful singles from the album were, "Juegos De Seducción" (Games of Seduction), "Nada Personal" (Nothing Personal) and "Cuando pase el temblor" (When the Earthquake Ends), those songs enjoyed strong airplay during 1985 and 1986 in Argentina, Mexico, Uruguay and Chile mainly.

Such successful songs were performed live twice at the Viña del Mar International Song Festival held in Chile in February, 1987. Many people (including music journalists) consider historical these two shows.[1][2]
