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.

Me cuesta creer que lo nuestro acabo
Me enredo en amores buscando la
Calma y luego comprendo lo sola
Que estoy
Yo creo escapar de este infierno
Durmiendo que solo en sueños aun tengo
Me duele el recuerdo en el triste silencio
De mi habitación
Me mata tu ausencia
Que poco sirvo sin tu amor yo
No tengo experiencia
En abandono y desamor
Me mata tu ausencia
Se me derrumba el corazón muero de
Indiferencia desde
Que tú me dijiste adiós desde
Que tú me dijiste adiós
No puedo creer que ya no te hago falta
Que en tu corazón ya no queda nada de
Mi, mi vida empezó el día de tu llegada
Se me ha terminado al verte partir
Me mata tu ausencia que poco sirvo
Sin tu amor yo no tengo experiencia
En abandono y desamor me mata tú
Ausencia se me derrumba el corazón
Muero de indiferencia desde que tú me
Dijiste adiós desde que tú me dijiste adiós
Pasan los días y no me resigno a renunciar
A ti no puedo mas no puedo más
Me mata tu ausencia que poco sirvo sin tu
Amor yo no tengo experiencia en abandono
Y desamor me mata tu ausencia se me
Derrumba el corazón muero de indiferencia
Desde que tú me dijiste adiós desde
Que tú me dijiste adiós
