It was released as the first single from the Grammy-nominated studio album Busca una Mujer (1988).

The song has been performed by the singer on promotional tours, mostly on medleys along with songs from his 1980s repertoire. Also, several performers have recorded cover versions, including Los Byby's, Fuera de Liga, Mazz, Grieta Calderòn, Grupo El Momento, The Latin Stars Orchestra, El Momento vs. Hijo de Chila, Frankie Negrón, New Variety Band, Los Player's, Silva Y Guerra and Terrazas Musical.
Shortly after its release a Portuguese adaptation was created called “Fria Como O Vento”. Similar to the original Spanish it has nearly the same lyrics but the bass and tone of the song are a little different to clearly distinguish the difference between the two songs.
