"Qué Te Pasa" ("What's Up With You") is a dance song written by J.R. Florez and Gian Pietro DiFelissati, produced by Felissatti and performed by Mexican singer Yuri. It was released in 1987 as the first single from her seventh studio albumAire (1987), and became her first number-one single in the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks chart and won the Lo Nuestro Award for Pop Song of the Year in 1989.[1]
In 1987, after her third participation on the OTI Festival, Yuri did a special appearance in the Miss México contest, along with fellow Mexican singer Luis Miguel, and this would be one of her last performances that year, since she decided to marry Fernando Iriarte. She recorded in late 1987 Aire, under the guidance of DiFelisatti and J.R. Florez. This was her last album with EMI, since she signed with Sony Music in 1988. The first single released from this album was "Qué Te Pasa", a song that was included twenty years later on Yuri's first live album Vive la Historia.[4][5] The song was also featured in the film Selena (1997), starred by Jennifer López.[6]
