Los Jetz
Peña first achieved notoriety after performing at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas during a Selena tribute concert in 1995 while under management with Q Productions and Abraham Quintanilla II, who was Selena's father and former manager. This was Peña's first public performance on a grand scale performing Bidi Bidi Bom Bom, a #1 song for the late Latin superstar Selena. Peña's first studio album Dulzura released in May 1996 as part of Jennifer y Los Jetz was produced by Abraham Quintanilla III and introduced her to the music scene officially at the age of 12 with the title track and "Ven a mí" (a Spanish-language cover of The Drifters' "Dance with Me") garnered her a loyal fanbase. The album sold quite well in the Latin market, certified gold and winning several Tejano Music Awards. At the time Tejano Music was in its prime and Jennifer was another staple act in the scene. Her introduction was both praised and criticized mainly in part due the artistic similarities between Selena and she. The comparisons came and went, but Jennifer managed to continue winning over fans. The year 1997 saw the release of her second album, Jennifer Y Los Jetz , with the singles "Tu Castigo" and "Yo Te Vi," being promoted and drawing the same level of success Dulzura had achieved winning another gold certification.
In 1998, she released Mariposa with "Tengo Miedo" as the lead single, another hit in the Latin market, and in Mexico where she toured extensively, the album became Jennifer's third album to be certified gold. By 2000 Jennifer was the most prominent female Tejano singer for which had been long dubbed La Princesa De La Musica Tejano ( The Princess Of Tejano Music) her most commercially and critically acclaimed album while under Q's management was 2000's Abrázame y Bésame, for which Jennifer was now billed as a solo act but still with band Los Jetz the album was produced by Abraham Quintanilla III. Showcasing a more mature sound for Peña, the title track, a duet with former Kumbia Kings frontman DJ Kane, was the most successful single. Other hits - "Si Tú Te Vas," "Contigo Otra Vez," and "No Te Voy a Perdonar" - hit strong again in the USA and in Mexico, garnering her a 2001 Grammy nomination and multiple Tejano Music Awards. Jennifer continued to promote and tour extensively after the release of every album under Q's management and with Label EMI-Latin.
Univision Music Group and Latin Pop Venture
After a few years of management under Q Productions, Peña opted to further her career by signing with the then new label Univision Music Group, whose president had launched Selena's career while at EMI Latin, which he headed until 2000. Under UMG, Peña was billed as a Latin pop artist. In 2002, she released Libre, produced by Rudy Perez and Kike Santander. Rudy Perez wrote the album's biggest hits: "Vamos al Mundial," which was chosen as the anthem for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and "El Dolor de Tu Presencia," which catapulted Peña's popularity, spending eight consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks. "Entre el Delirio y la Locura" soon followed. Libre sold over 300,000 units. In 2003 Libre was nominated for a Grammy and earned her a Premio Lo Nuestro. The year 2004 saw the release of her second album with UMG, Seducción, which was produced by Rudy Pérez,Gustavo and Kike Santander, and Emilio Estefan — Rudy Perez was the genius behind another #1 hit "Vivo y muero en tu piel" — the album kept up the momentum of her previous release, again selling over 300,000 units which offered a wider appeal to Jennifer's music by offering some alternate takes on tejano/pop and even a country flavored Para Olvidarerte De Mi. In 2004 Peña performed to a crowd of over 61,000 at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, a venue that has hosted the Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks and Beyoncé, and also recording a live album that was released later that same year.

Te Acordarás de Mí
Jennifer Peña Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y te acordaras de todo lo que fue, y ya no queda nada
Te acordaras de mi, y tendras ganas de llamar
Pero mi puerta, ya nunca se abrira
Te acordaras de mi, cuando tus noches sean largas
Y te acordaras de todo lo que yo te di, de como yo te amaba
Te acordaras de mi, al poner otra en mi lugar
Te acordaras, y esperas, que un dia yo, te vuelva a amar
Pero ya es tarde, fuiste tu quien decidio alejarse
Te acordaras. y sufriras, mas no te puedo perdonar
Porque ya es tarde, sabes bien que tu te equivocaste
Te acordaras de mi, porque en tu vida ya no hay nada
Y te acordaras de todo lo que yo te di, de como yo te amaba
Te acordaras de mi, tal vez con ganas de llorar
Pero mi puerta ya nunca se abrira
The lyrics to Jennifer Peña's song Te Acordaras De Mi portray the feelings of someone who has been left behind by their former lover. The song is essentially a warning that the person who left will eventually come to regret their decision and think back on what they lost.

They will remember the love that they shared and the feelings they had for each other.
The song also highlights the unending pain of the person left behind, who will also remember their former lover and the happiness they shared together. They will remember the love they gave and how they were replaced so easily by someone else. The lyrics suggest that the person left behind will not be forgiving, and will not take their former lover back. They will be sad, but they will not open their heart again to that person.
In essence, Te Acordaras De Mi is a song about lost love and the feelings that come with it. It is a haunting and emotional song that speaks to anyone who has ever loved and lost. It warns that love is something that should not be taken for granted, and that once it is gone, it is gone forever.
