Paulina Rubio isn’t going anywhere…

The 44-year-old Mexican singer has released her brand new single, “Si Te Vas.” As part of the global launch Rubio debuted the track in two versions – pop and a reggaeton version backed up by Puerto Rican duo Alexis & Fido.

In the videos for both versions, which premiered on Rubio’s Vevo channel, La Chica Dorada plays an artist who dedicates the song to the portrait of a man she painted.

Rubio, who is pregnant, presented her new single for the first time at the Latin American Music Awards ceremony in Los Angeles last October.

Several weeks ago Rubio kicked off a campaign on social networks to promote the launch of “Si Te Vas,” in which she shared clips of the track and video along with other images.

Rubio’s new track follows the single she recorded with the Colombian band Morat and launched in February 2015, “Mi Nuevo Vicio,” which went double platinum in Spain and got 30 million plays on Spotify in Mexico.

Last December, Rubio confirmed her second pregnancy to ¡Hola! magazine.

The singer, 44, had her son Andrea Nicolas with Spaniard Nicolas Vallejo, from whom she split in 2012, and currently shares her life with Gerardo Bazua, her boyfriend since 2013, when he, also a singer, was a contestant on La Voz Mexico and she was his mentor.
