In television, she appeared in episodes of Spanish soap operas such as Robles Investigador Privado, Policías, Periodistas and El Comisario. In 2001, Beatriz was chosen to star in Un paso adelante, along with actors like Mónica Cruz, Silvia Marty, Pablo Puyol, Dafne Fernández or Lola Herrera, which made her very well-known in Spain, Europe and some South American countries; it was here that the musical group Upa Dance was born. Upa Dance sold more than 600,000 copies of their first record.
In spite of the big success of Upa Dance and the amount of their concerts, Beatriz has wanted to develop new musical and creative interests, reason by which she began to imagine her artistic proposal.
In 2005 she released her debut-solo album, "Mi Generación", under Universal Music label, and was recorded between Spain, Belgium and the United States. The album is purely a R&B/Pop album, mixing some flamenco beats.
In early 2005, she released the first single from the album, "Mi Generación", but failed to make impact on the Spanish charts, despite peaking at #4 on the Airplay chart.
She won the prize "Better Musical Future", and she was chosen by the Spanish audience to represent Spain at the "Wanadoo Discoveries" in Nice, France, and she was 2nd. She was also nominated to the MTV European Music Awards celebrated in Lisbon. She was invited in 2005 to the Grammy Awards and in 2006 to Cannes Festival in France.
The second single lifted from the album was "Go Away", a song written by American Pop star Justin Timberlake, and peaked at #1 on the Spanish Singles Chart. The third and final single was "Hit Lerele", a R&B song which managed to peak at #4 in Spain.
The album only peaked at #20 in Spain, and went to sold in excess 30,000 copies, somewhat a commercial failure for Beatriz and her label, because she is very known in Spain. "Mi Generación" had also an exclusive release in France, via FNAC stores, and peaked at #4 on the FNAC Top 20, without any forms of promotion.
In 2006, after the success of "Un Paso Adelante" in France, Universal released an edition of "Mi Generación" there, called "BL". The lead single was "Hit Lerele", and peaked at #14 in France, and sold more than 90,000 copies there, becoming a great start for the singer. The second single was "Escape", and did also well on the charts, peaking at #14, and selling again 90,000 copies.
The album was released in mid-2006, and peaked at #7, selling 130,000 copies and being certified as Gold, enjoying great success in France. The third and final single lifted from "BL" was the untempo R&B song "May Yo Lo", featuring Ruzzo from Orishas. However, this single was only a promo single for French music stations, and did well in some radio stations.
This album managed to peak at #58 on the European Top 100 Albums Chart, and the single "Hit Lerele" was also a Top 50 hit on the European Hot 100 Singles Chart.
In addition, Beatriz has a School of Dance in Madrid.
After three years outside the music scene, she got back with a new album early 2008. The album was entirely recorded in France, and it is called "Carrousel".
The album was produced by Yotuel Romero and Andrés Levín, and Beatriz wrote all the lyrics. The album is a mixture of various rhytmes, from flamenco to R&B and Adult-Contemporary Pop. The album was released on May 4, 2008, via Universal Music Spain.
Dime
Beatriz Luengo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cuando cierres heridas,
pienses que ya me olvidas
y te acuerdes de mi.
Horas que se van como días,
que se van como olas
y al final desembocan
Llámame cuando no sientas calor en tu piel...
Llámame sin saber que ya no estoy...
Miéntele cuando en tus sueños me vuelvas a ver...
Miéntele sin saber que ya no estoy aquí...
Tonta, me creí tus mentiras,
porque cuando lastimas,
yo me siento perdida
pero me haces feliz...
Quiero que en tus noches vacías,
mientras ella te mira,
mi recuerdo en sus ojos
no te deje dormir.
Llámame cuando no sientas calor en tu piel...
Llámame sin saber que ya no estoy...
Miéntele cuando en tus sueños me vuelvas a ver...
Miéntele sin saber que ya no estoy aquí...
Dis moi, qu'est ce que ça fait d'être dans les bras d'une autre,
Dans les draps d'une autre et de crier mon nom…
C'est ma voix qui te touche quand tu la touche
Ca relate milles supplices
Comme une bougie sur l'hotel sacré,
La flamme éclaire, l'autre, elle
Et maint'nant je voudrais just' te dire
Regarde-moi, regarde la, dis moi
The lyrics of Beatriz Luengo's song "Dime" speak on the aftermath of a breakup and the lingering feelings that remain. The song starts with the singer asking their former lover what will become of their life once they have healed and moved on from the relationship. They then express the passing of time that seems slow yet fleeting, leading to a world without their former partner. The chorus urges the ex to call the singer when they no longer feel warmth on their skin, even if the singer is no longer there for them. They also ask the ex to lie to themselves about seeing the singer in their dreams.
The second verse reveals the singer's vulnerabilities, admitting to believing their ex's lies and feeling lost whenever they cause them harm. However, the singer still finds happiness in the ex's presence. The final lines of the verse express the singer's hope that their memory lingers in the ex's mind even while in bed with someone new. The song's French interlude adds another layer of pain to the lyrics, as the singer asks the ex what it feels like to be with someone else and call out their name while it is the singer's voice that touches them.
Overall, "Dime" speaks on the complexities of love and loss, and the difficulty of moving on from someone who once brought you happiness.

Tell me, what does it feel like to be in someone else's arms, in someone else's sheets, and to cry out my name... It's my voice that touches you when you touch her, it recalls a thousand torments, like a candle in the sacred hotel, the flame illuminates the other, her... And now I just want to tell you, Look at me, look at her, tell me.
