She gained international fame after being cast as Mia Colucci in the hit Mexican telenovela Rebelde, and as a member of the Latin Grammy-nominated pop group RBD. Anahi has sold over 3 million albums as a solo artist.

In 1985, at the age of 2, Anahí began her career on a Mexican television program called Chiquilladas. She then starred in numerous films such as Nacidos para Morir and Había Una Vez Una Estrella. She then went on to star in several telenovelas, including Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real, Hora Marcada, Vivo por Elena, and La Telaraña.

In 1996 she released her first album titled Anahí. She later released a second album titled ¿Hoy Es Mañana? which featured the singles Descontrolándote and Corazón de bombón. She went on to record two additional albums titled Anclado En Mi Corazón and Baby Blue.

The success of Rebelde launched RBD. To date, RBD has released 9 studio albums, including albums in Spanish, Portuguese and English. They have sold over 15 million albums worldwide, and toured across Mexico, South America, Serbia, Slovenia, Romania, the United States, and Spain.

In 2006, following the success of RBD, Anahí re-released her solo album, Baby Blue, under the name Una Rebelde en Solitario.

On August 15, 2008, RBD released a message telling fans that they had decided to split up. They went on one final tour, Gira Del Adios World Tour which ended in late 2008. On November 2008, Anahi and Dulce Maria collaborated with Tiziano Ferro on a song called "El Regalo Màs Grande".

In April 2009, Anahí launched an official website and twitter page announcing her solo album. She debuted her first solo single since RBD, "Mi Delirio," at the 2009 Premios Juventud in Miami, Florida. It was released for digital download on August 18, 2009.

Her first solo album since RBD, Mi Delirio was released on November 24, 2009.

Anahí Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cuando me quedo rendida
Y ya siento que nada va devolverme la vida
Todo es una pesadilla
Y la gente
(…) encontrar mis amigas
No enciende el motor
Y la hora que es
Nada, nada esta bien

Todo sale al revés
Tu mi medicina

Bailar
Cual penicilina
Bailar
Y no hay virus que me siga
Bailar
Y por cosas de la vida
Bailar
Y que nadie me reprima

Un gato negro en la cera
Cuando paso bobeando
Debajo de una escalera
Vi un salero y me alejo
Voy corriendo temblando
Y despedazo un espejo

El colmo llego
Todo puede pasar
No me quiero sentar
A esperar el final
Tu mi medicina

Bailar
Cual penicilina
Bailar
Y no hay virus que me siga
Bailar
Y por cosas de la vida

Bailar
Y que nadie me reprima

Overall Meaning

In Anahí's song Bailar, the lyrics express the need to dance as a form of escape from the hardships of life. The first verse describes a feeling of hopelessness and despair when everything seems to be going wrong, and not even the support of friends can make things better. The line "Todo sale al revés" (Everything is going the wrong way) captures the frustration and helplessness of the situation. However, the chorus brings a glimmer of hope: "Bailar, cual penicilina" (Dancing, like penicillin) suggests that dancing can provide a cure, much like medicine. The repetition of "Bailar" drives home the message that the act of dancing is a powerful antidote to the struggles of life.

The second verse introduces a surreal element, as the singer encounters a black cat and breaks a mirror, which in superstition is said to bring bad luck. The line "No me quiero sentar a esperar el final" (I don't want to sit around waiting for the end) reflects a refusal to succumb to negativity and instead take action by dancing. The final repetition of "Tu mi medicina" (You, my medicine) reinforces the idea that the love of the person addressed in the song is the ultimate source of healing.

Overall, the lyrics of Bailar convey a message of resilience and the power of music to uplift the spirit. Dancing is presented as a way to overcome even the darkest of moments and find joy in the midst of chaos.
