Guzmán is the daughter of Mexican actress Silvia Pinal and Venezuelan-born Mexican rock and roll singer Enrique Guzmán. She is the half-sister of actresses Sylvia Pasquel and Viridiana Alatriste. Her niece Stephanie Salas is also a well known entertainer in Mexico.
After travelling with her mother's theatre troupe, Guzmán decided she wanted to focus on singing and recorded her début album Bye Mama in 1988, which yielded "La plaga", the first of many hits.
In 1990, Guzmán scored one of the biggest hits of her career, the song "Eternamente Bella" ("Eternally Beautiful"), which became a number one hit in Mexico and other Latin countries. The song is considered a classic by many Spanish rock fans.
In 1991 she released Flor de Papel. One of the album singles, "Hacer El Amor Con Otro", became a smash hit for Guzmán, not only in Latin America and México, but also in the U.S. The album was well received by critics and fans, and received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Latin Pop Album in 1992. The albums Libre and Enorme followed in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Her musical output in the late 1990s was often overshadowed by the many controversies she was involved in.
In 2002, Guzmán won her first Latin Grammy Award for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album for Soy.
In 2006, she released Indeleble. The first single was Volverte a amar, which became one of her biggest hits in Mexico and hit the Top 10 in the Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks, peaking number #6 and number #1 in Hot Latin Pop Airplay chart. The album (which reached the #1 spot in Mexico) has been certified double-platinum and won two awards at the Premios Oye! 2006 (Mexico's most important music awards), including Best Album of the Year and Pop Vocal Female. She was also nominated for two Latin Grammy Awards for Best Rock Vocal Album Indeleble and Best Rock Song for "Volverte a amar".

Alejandra Guzmán Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
quizás quizás me he portado mal
quizás quizás del camino aprendí
cómo volver atrás
hay que tenerle amor a la vida
hay que tenerle amor de verdad
si ya he probado la fruta prohibida
quizás quizás por el cielo subí
y la verdad que no estuvo mal
quizás quizás algo bueno aprendí
a no equivocarme más
hay que tenerle amor a la vida
hay que tenerle amor de verdad
hay que vivirla con cierta media
un pie aquí el otro acá
amigo ven aquí y baila conmigo
amigo ayudame a caminar
amigo ven aquí abajo conmigo
amigo dame alas para volar
quizás quizás no te acuerdes de mí
quizás quizás me he portado mal
quizás quizás del camino salí
cómo volver atrás
hay que tenerle amor a la vida
hay que tenerle amor de verdad
si ya he probado la fruta prohibida
no quiero ser de sal
amigo ven aquí abajo conmigo
amigo ayudame a caminar
amigo ven aquí y baila conmigo
amigo ven aquí abajo conmigo
