"Ni Una Sola Palabra" (English: Not A Single Word) is the first official single released from Paulina Rubio's Spanish language album Ananda. It is Paulina's third American pop hit, entering at #98 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song

The song was written by Xabier San Martín (member of the Spanish band La Oreja de Van Gogh) and was released on radio on July 24, 2006. The song was released on iTunes Store on August 15, 2006, becoming Rubio's first digital single after fans petitioned for a legal way to obtain it prior to the album hitting stores.

Rubio said the following about the song:^[1]

“

"Ni Una Sola Palabra" is a song that captivated me from the first time I heard it, the lyrics, the rhythm... I can relate to it completely. In the process of its recording and production, it shone right from the beginning... I am very happy to be able to hand out something that I am very proud of. I love it! And I hope that people will enjoy it as much as I do.

”
