Ana Barbara would become a beauty queen before she reached stardom as a singer: in 1988, she became "Miss San Luis Potosí", going on to represent her state in the Miss Universe-sponsored Miss Mexico beauty contest. She lost in her bid to become Miss Mexico, however.

In 1993, Ana Bárbara was proclaimed the "Ambassador of Ranchera Music", and she also earned the Rostro Bonito de El Heraldo ("El Heraldo's Beautiful Face") award. In 1994, she signed with Televisa's musical company, Fonovisa. Under the Fonovisa label, she launched her first CD, the self-titled "Ana Bárbara". Her song, "Sacúdeme" ("Shake Me"), became a hit in Mexico.

Ana Bárbara reached international fame after the death of Mexican-American singer Selena in 1995. When Ana Bárbara's self-titled CD was released to Hispanic listeners in the United States, it was advertised on television as a dedicatory to Selena. A song also named "Selena" was added to the CD prior to its American release.

On November 3 of 2005, Ana Bárbara was awarded a Latin Grammy Award.

Loca
Ana Bárbara Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por culpa de ese amor estoy llorando
Y soy como una gata sin guarida
Las noches me las paso dando vueltas
Siguiéndole las huellas a escondidas

Y el corazón golpea
Estoy desesperada
Lo busco en todas partes

Sus besos me hacen falta

Loca, que a mí me digan loca
Se mira y no se toca
Este amor es mío, solo mío
Loca, enamorada y loca
Capaz de cualquier cosa
Orgullo de mujer cuando está herido

Por culpa de ese amor estoy llorando
Pero no habrá rival que me lo quite
Con uñas y con dientes seré como una fiera
Voy a pelear de frente
Su amor contra cualquiera

Loca, que a mí me digan loca
Se mira y no se toca
Este amor es mío, solo mío
Loca, enamorada y loca
Capaz de cualquier cosa
Orgullo de mujer cuando está herido

Loca, que a mí me digan loca
Se mira y no se toca
Ese amor es mío, solo mío
Loca, enamorada y loca
Capaz de cualquier cosa
Orgullo de mujer cuando está herido

(Loca, que a mí me digan loca) ay, loca
(Se mira y no se toca) ay, loca
(Ese amor es mío) solo mío
(Loca, enamorada y loca)
Capaz de cualquier cosa
Orgullo de mujer cuando está herido

Ay, loca

Se mira y no se toca
Loca
