K.C. Porter, Rodolfo Castillo, Cesar Lemos, Cesar Valle, Per Magnusson and David Kreuger
.

Influenced by the

economic crisis
, relationships and emotions. Upon its release, critical and public reception of Planeta Paulina was positive, but commercially, the album did not meet expected expectations.

Four singles were released from the album: "Siempre Tuya Desde La Raíz", "Solo Por Ti", "Miedo" (in North America only), and "Enamorada", all of which experienced moderate success.

Background and development

After the great commercial success of her first two hit albums and an attempt to enter the international market with

Atlanta Olympics. Among them, Rubio would resume her musical career with the song "Será Entre Tú Y Yo", part of the album Voces Unidas written and directed by Estefan.[2] That same month, Rubio took the opportunity to talk about the creative process of her fourth studio album and, in turn, unveiled its name, Planeta Paulina. She said: "I want to show that I am not only a pretty face, but I have intelligence, I have prepared myself and now I am studying Art History."[3]

On 6 July 1996, Billboard magazine reported that EMI would release the singer's fourth studio album in the coming months, following a contract in which the label would be responsible for regaining her status in Latin America after two "hit albums" and another moderate success.[4] The album would be the first of a contract that provided for the release of three albums with EMI over the course of four years.[5] The album marks Paulina's control in the creative process and was produced by Marco Flores. The first single released was written by Rodolfo Castillo and a single with English versions and remixes of the song "Solo por ti" was planned before the launch of Planeta Paulina.[6]

Composition

"(Planeta Paulina) is an album thought with the heart and reason. The truth, it was done with great enthusiasm and professionalism. I worked as an album producer for 18 months and in the fifth month I found the futuristic concept I was looking for the album. Then came the analysis of the letters that had to be consistent."

—Rubio, about the process and concept of Planeta Paulina[7]

Musically, Planeta Paulina is a departure from Rubio's previous output, being influenced by the techno and Europop dance revolution of the mid-to-late 1990s. Conceived as an avant-garde

global warming, HIV, sexual orientation and the Mexican peso crisis
