Arrasando (song)

"Arrasando" is the third single from Thalía's 2000 Arrasando album, and it was written by herself. A list song, it is recognized as one of her signature songs. Also, it has an English version called "It's My Party". Although both share a general theme of optimism about the human race moving on from mistakes of the past, the English version is an entirely new lyric, rather than a translation. "It's My Party" later appeared on the album Thalía's Hits Remixed.
