The three girls were initially cast in the mid-1980s for a TV show to be called Fans, which was to feature chats and sing-alongs with guest stars. When plans for the show fell through, a project was started to turn the girls into a pop music group. The group was renamed "Flans" and their first album, Flans, was launched in 1985. Their style was mainly pop music and ballads although one of their albums (Cuéntamelo Dum-Dum) is somewhat child-oriented.
The group released a new album every year until 1990 when they separated, with a national tour and the release of their "last" album Adiós.
After their separation in 1990, Ivonne married and devoted herself to painting; Mimí and Ilse started solo careers, with Mimí also being the host for a TV show.
Rumors of a reunion started in 1999 and were confirmed with the 2000 release of Hadas, although further work by the group has been sporadic.
In 2002, the group changed their name to IIM and released a new album of Electronic versions of their greatest hits.
In 2006, the group returned under the name Flans for a good-bye tour "20 Millas Despues", with a final concert in Mexico City.

estás perdido en el ayer
por qué no te dejas encontrar toma mi mano y
siéntela
Sé muy bien que esos momentos
oscurecen pronto el cielo azul
dale cuerda al pensamiento y cuéntamelo
Hoy por ti, mañana por mi

hoy por ti, mañana por mi
negocio perfecto firma aquí
En tu diario escribirás
una poesía sobre el mar
y si no me dejas compartir
alerta gris se puede hundir
Porque al ver lo que sientes siento
y al pensar lo que piensas pienso así
tenemos contrato a medias lo debes cumplir

The song "Hoy Por Ti Mañana Por Mi" by Flans talks about a person who is lost in the past and feeling down, but the singer encourages them to take their hand and keep moving forward. The lyrics suggest that the person needs to let go of their negative thoughts and focus on the present moment. The singer understands that these moments can be challenging, but it is important to keep going.
In the second verse, the singer talks about how writing a poem about the sea may help the person find some peace. However, the singer also warns that if the person does not share their feelings, it could lead to isolation and depression. The two people have a contract to help each other and support each other through difficult times.
The song is ultimately about helping others and being there when they need it. It encourages listeners to pay it forward and help others in their time of need. The repetition of "hoy por ti, mañana por mi" emphasizes the importance of this concept.
