Dime Si Recuerdas

Ivy Queen began working on her sixth studio album in 2006 after divorcing from her husband of nine years.[1][2] Wanting to go in a different direction than her previous albums, she said she wanted to give a 180-degree turn to what people think of reggaetón.[3] She explained "Many think reggaetón is just nice rhythms to dance to. And they forget there are song-writers and composers, who, like everyone else, also suffer and aspire in love".[3] She wanted the album to be about that.[3] She said "Love is what makes us write things, what keeps us alive. If we did not have love, we would have nothing".[3] After the commercial success of the album, which was certified Platinum by the United States Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), a platinum edition and substantial live album was distributed by Univision and Machete in late-2007 and 2008 respectively.[4] Of the seven new tracks featured on the platinum edition was "Dime Si Recuerdas" while a rerecording of the Top 10 hit "Que Lloren" also appears.[5]

It was produced by the Dominican-born reggaeton production duo Luny Tunes and the Puerto Rican-born reggaeton producer Noriega.[6][7] Luny Tunes has worked with Ivy Queen in the past producing much of her early work, including "Te He Querido, Te He Llorado" which appeared on Luny Tunes' second compilation album Mas Flow 2 (2005).[8]

As well as Noriega, who has produced songs from Queen such as "Quiero Saber" in 2002 and "Amiga No Pienses" which appeared on Noriega's second compilation album Contra La Corriente (2004).[9] "Dime Si Recuerdas" is a bachata song. A musical bolero-based genre that originated in the Dominican Republic and spread to parts of the world including Latin America while becoming popular in places such as Puerto Rico.[10]

"Dime Si Recuerdas" was featured on the platinum edition of the album, as the fourth track.[11] It managed to debut and peak at #35 on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart for the week of December 22, 2007.[12]
