She started singing at a very young age. Cristóbal Sansano became her first producer. After signing with Sony Music, she recorded her debut album Mónica Naranjo in 1994, resulting in the hit songs "Sola", "El amor coloca" and "Óyeme".
In April 1996, the artist received acclamations during a performance at Mexico City's Teatro Metropolitan (Metropolitan Theater). Taking advantage of her popularity, a second album, "Palabra de Mujer", was issued. The album was a hit, managing to sell more than 2.5 million copies in the United States and Spain, thanks to songs such as "Desátame", "Pantera en libertad", "Las campanas del amor", "Entender el amor" or "Empiezo a recordarte".
In 2000, she released her third album, Minage, a homage to the great Italian diva Mina, with songs from "Sobreviviré", "If you leave me now" and "Enamorada". They were a complete success and her native country became dedicated to Mónica. After having achieved big acceptance in Europe, she managed to sing with Pavarotti and Mina herself.
In 2001, she released Chicas Malas, an album with several collaborations, among them Diane Warren, Gregg Alexander, John Reid, and many more. It was an excessively commercial dance album that did not achieve the success hoped for. But, in this way the songs "No voy a llorar" and "Chicas malas" continue in the mind of millions of persons.
In 2003, as claimed by her fans, she recorded the English version of "Chicas Malas", "Bad Girls".
After a long musical rest, Mónica returned with a 'greatest hits' album ("Colección Privada"), a big success that only contains one new song, "Enamorada de ti". The single and the album were both smash hits. With this album, Mónica closes a stage in her life and her career. In December, she sang with Rocío Jurado "Punto de partida" in her TV homage Rocío... Siempre.
Mónica Naranjo returned a few months ago with her new smash single "Europa" in 2008, from the album Tarántula.

Mónica Naranjo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voy a querer, quiero sentir, siento poder porque puedo aguantar sin ti.
Lástima de amor
Lástima de amor
Lástima de amor
Confundido con ambición
Al fin lo podemos entender tú y yo
Cínica moral, ansia de poder
Más allá del mal, más allá del bien
Tengo que olvidar eso que aprendí
Menos el amor que era todo mentira
La felicidad, mágico glamour
Arte, libertad, fama, juventud
Tengo que olvidar eso que aprendí
Menos el amor que era todo mentira
Eso que ves (Todo mentira)
Olvídalo (Todo todo mentira)
Es al revés (Todo mentira)
Piénsalo, piénsalo
Decide ya sin ser sentimental
Quién te ha dicho la mentira o la verdad
Decídelo
Sólo tú
Pásalo (stop).
Cínica moral, ansia de poder
Más allá del mal, más allá del bien
Tengo que olvidar eso que aprendí
Menos el amor que era todo mentira
La felicidad, mágico glamour
Arte, libertad, fama, juventud
Tengo que olvidar eso que aprendí
Menos el amor que era todo mentira
¡Despierta ya, responde!
¡Despierta ya, responde!
Al fin lo podemos entender tú y yo
Cínica moral, ansia de poder
Más allá del mal, más allá del bien
Tengo que olvidar eso que aprendí
Menos el amor era todo mentira
La felicidad, mágico glamour

Tengo que olvidar eso que aprendí
Menos el amor era todo mentira
¡Despierta ya, responde!
¡Despierta ya, responde!
Al fin lo podemos entender tú y yo
The song "Todo mentira" by Mónica Naranjo talks about a person who wants to fight, live, and forget the pain that someone inflicted on them. The person wants to love and feel powerful and strong because they can handle life without that other person. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Lastima de amor" which translates to "what a pity of love." The lyrics suggest that the relationship between the two people was built on lies and the realization that everything was a lie is devastating.
The verses of the song highlight the different things that society values like wealth, power, fame, and youth. The person singing the song realizes that all of these things are "everything a lie" and they need to unlearn the values that they once held. The person needs to reevaluate what is important to them and what truly matters in life. The lyrics suggest that the person needs to wake up and respond to the truth rather than being sentimental or holding onto a false reality.
Overall, "Todo mentira" is a song that encourages people to let go of the things that do not matter and to focus on what is important. It is a powerful message about the dangers of valuing things that do not bring true happiness and fulfillment.
