"Saliva" (Spanish for "Saliva") is a song by Mexican singer Thalía from her self titled debut solo album. It was released by Melody/Fonovisa as the album's second single in 1990. The music caused controversy due to the lyrics of a sexual nature and was banned from some Mexican radio stations. [1]
In 1989, after two successful albums with Timbiriche, Timbiriche VII and Timbiriche VIII & IX, that sold 1 million copies each one, [2] [3] Thalía announced her departure from the group to pursue a solo career. [4] In January 1990, the singer traveled to the United States to prepare musically. [4] At the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), she took English, dance, singing and acting classes. [5] The album was produced by Thalía's mentor Alfredo Díaz, [6] who was in charge of the music department of Televisa. [7] The singer wanted to revive the Flower power movement and "to break from anything traditional". [7] In the middle of that same year, she returned to Mexico with a new image and released her first LP on 9 October. [8] Just like Thalía's first single " Un Pacto Entre los Dos", the song caused much controversy for its seductive lyrics and was even prohibited in some radio stations and television in Mexico. [9] [10] To promote the song, a music video (with participation of Ricky Luis) was shot in China and released in 1990. [11] It was included in the Thalía's boxset La Historia released by Universal Music in 2010, which included the singer's first three albums and a DVD with her music videos from the Fonovisa era. [12]
Despite the song being banned in radio stations in Mexico, it still managed to be a hit in Spain as well as some Latin American countries. [13] The song had success in Spain thanks to Thalía becoming the new musical hostess for La Gala VIP Noche from the Spanish television network Telecinco [14] [15]
