Mujeres

The song Mujeres, released in 1992, marked a turning point in Ricardo Arjona's career, becoming his first major international hit. This track, which opens with a reflection on the creation of Eve as a companion for Adam —"I don't know who invented them / I don't know who did us that favor / it had to be God / who saw man so alone and without hesitation thought of two"—, resonated strongly with the public. Its release as a single, from the album Animal Nocturno, catapulted Arjona to the charts, reaching number 6 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs in 1993. Beyond its commercial success, Mujeres is recognized as one of the emblematic pieces of the Guatemalan singer-songwriter.

Mujeres was composed by Ricardo Arjona himself and released under the label Sony Discos. The song is part of the album Animal Nocturno, published on February 9, 1993, and has been reissued and covered on multiple occasions throughout the artist's discography, as well as being performed by other musicians. The musical style falls within Latin pop. The album Animal Nocturno, which includes this song, was the artist's fourth studio work and is characterized by lyrics that, as described, possess a rebellious and bohemian air, a perspective that would evolve in his later works.
