Thalía's first English recordings would come in 1997 on an album titled Nandito Ako which was released exclusively in the Philippines and later certified 3× platinum there.

In 2000, Los Angeles-based Jose Behar, president/CEO of EMI-Latin, told to Billboard that Thalía was "completely committed reaching the largest possible audience [in the US]" and that "a pop crossover is part of the "ultimate plan" for Thalia, but "we're not rushing anything.

"[4] Some of Arrasando's songs were recorded in English and were listed on the singer's official website but they were not released commercially except for "It's My Party" (version of the song "Arrasando") which was released as a single and later added to the remix album Thalía's Hits Remixed and "Don't Close the Door" English version of "Regresa a mí".

The music video (of both English and Spanish version) was directed by Antti Jokinen, and it was shot at CBGB's on the Bowery on July 23, being published on September 20, 2003.

"Don't Look Back" was released as a remixed single and the "N. Cotto & J. Nevins Mixes" version, did well on Billboard Dance Charts, peaking at #9.

"[11] Barry Walters from Rolling Stone magazine gave the album three out of five stars and claimed that "unfortunately, Thalia's efforts to break the language barrier, make her meek and mute her charms".

[12] Joey Guerra from Vibe magazine noted that the singer's English-language debut shifts away from her usual vibrant style, offering R&B-influenced tracks like "I Want You" with Fat Joe.

[23] The Japanese release, titled I Want You, was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), denoting shipments of 100,000 units.
