Source-derived summary

"Sangre" (Blood) is the first single taken from the album Love by Mexican singer Thalía. The song was composed by the singer herself and the lyrics are dedicated to Alfredo Díaz Ordáz who died before the album was released. The song was successful in Mexico peaking at number two in the Notitas Musicales chart. "Sangre" is the third of four songs in which Thalía talks about body fluids, the others are "Saliva", "Sudor" and "Lágrimas" from the albums Thalía, Mundo de Cristal and En éxtasis, respectively.

Background and production

In 1990, while working on the production of her first solo album, Thalía met Alfredo Diaz Ordaz who was part of Televisa's music department, he produced the artist's first album and at the same time became her boyfriend. The producer proposed to the singer when she thought about giving up her career after the severe criticism she received for her first album. About to get married the singer discovered that the one who was considered to be a mentor and future husband had just died and in his honor the singer wrote the song "Sangre". The song was produced by Luis Carlos Esteban and was chosen as the first single from the singer's Love album. A music video for the special Love Thalía was made. It was included in the Thalía's box set La Historia released by Universal Music in 2010, which included the singer's first three albums and a DVD with her music videos from the Fonovisa era.
