"Dame Un Beso" (English translation: "Give Me a Kiss") is a 1986 song by Mexican-American singer

A. B. Quintanilla and Ricky Vela, who were both in her band at the time.[1] A. B. Quintanilla, Selena's brother, had grown tired of the more old-fashioned songs that his father would choose and write, and decided to take over and write almost all of her songs.[2]

Soon after its release, Selena, then 15, won the awards for both "Female Vocalist of the Year" and "Performer of the Year" at the

LP, and EP in 1986. "Dame Un Beso" has since been released on various of Selena's posthumous greatest-hits compilation albums.[3]
