Infobox
  • It says the song was released as a CD Single, is there no cover art for the single?

Background and release
  • Is A.B. Quintanilla III Selena's brother, or are you listing "Selena's brother" as a writer. (Could consider re-wording that? It comes off as confusing to me)

Okay. This article is quite short, but it looks in good condition: my one concern is that, mainly because of the length, there are other sections which could be discussed. But anyway...

Lead

  • "critics gave a mixed review" → what, they all gave it the same review."
    • Changed to "The track was given positive reviews by music critics," EditorEat ma talk page up, scotty! 14:01, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "one of Selena's "biggest hits"" → unless this is a direct quote from the article, then I would use a different wording, as this implies a reference to commercial success as I suspect that it is meant to imply that the song is among her best.
    • Changed to Best songs. EditorEat ma talk page up, scotty! 14:01, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

References

  • Not sure about using the > symbol in the Billboard references. A simple en-dash (–) would be more appropriate, in my opinion.
    • Changed to dashes EditorEat ma talk page up, scotty! 14:01, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Although it's quite well-written, I'm still worried that the article's not very comprehensive and doesn't meet the criteria on broadness – aside from a fleeting comment in one review, there's not much independent, specific coverage on the original work in particular. It does have a music video, which you could write about, but I would try and add in extra content in general (see other song articles for ideas). Of course, if this is genuinely all of the information available, then that's fine, but I'd especially try to get some more secondary sources in the "Background" section, such as information on what inspired the song, nature of recording sessions, et cetera. I'll place the article on hold to allow these fixes to take place – any help needed or further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Good luck! I Am RufusConversation is a beautiful thing. 08:02, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you asked. I don't think an article being complete is a GA requirement. Why? Did you happen to stumble upon any info about the making of this song? If so, could you tell me which sources? Thank you. EditorEat ma talk page up, scotty! 15:29, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen anything myself, unfortunately: I was just offering suggestions. Having considered it a little more, I think it does cover just about enough ground to meet the criteria, so I will pass it. If you want to find more information and add it, then do so, but I have seen worse offenders than this article, and it still meets all of the other criteria fine. Thanks or sorting out the comments!
