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 ↴
entre un loco y un cuerdo
hay me encuentro yo
Punto intermedio
entre el cielo, el infierno
lo siento, es mi mundo interior
para que voy a sufrir
por algo incierto
lo que tenga que sonar, ya sonara
no me amargues mas
No me haz conosido bien
yo no te engañe
Libre como el viento
y un mundo por andar
libre, libre como el viento
nada me va hacer cambiar
Siempre buscando causas perdidas
por la que luchar
mi corazon va tatuado de heridas sentidas
y fue de tanto amar
No suelo desperdiciar
ni una sola oportunidad que se me presente
que se vive solamente una ves
tu lo sabes bien
No me haz conosido bien
yo no te engañe
Libre como el viento
y un mundo por andar
libre, libre, libre como el viento
nadie me va hacer cambiar
No busco una explicacion
yo le hago caso al corazon
tomame tal como soy
