Background and release

Production of the telenovela Rebelde began in 2004, and the main young lead actors, Anahí, Alfonso Herrera, Dulce María, Christopher von Uckermann, Maite Perroni, and Christian Chávez, were put together to form the band RBD. The group released their debut single "Rebelde" on 30 September followed by their debut album of the same name two months later.^[1] Both the show, the song, and the album enjoyed great success, with the latter two topping the charts in Mexico. For the second single, the first option was "Un Poco De Tu Amor", but "Sólo Quédate En Silencio" was receiving heavy rotation, and it was chosen as the next single instead.^[2]

The song was one of the seven tracks to be adapted for the Portuguese version of the album; it was called "Fique Em Silêncio" ("Stay In Silence") and released as the second single of the album in Brazil. An English version of the song was also recorded in 2006, titled "Keep It Down Low" and released on RBD's first English studio album, Rebels.^[3] This makes it one of the five songs, along with "Sálvame", "Tenerte Y Quererte", "Nuestro Amor", "Feliz Cumpleaños" and "Dame" to be recorded in Spanish, English and Portuguese.
