"Sólo Quédate En Silencio" is a song recorded by Mexican pop group RBD. It was released on 2 December 2004, as the second single from group's debut album Rebelde. The song peaked at number 1 on the charts in Mexico and at number 2 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs Chart. It served as the third opening theme song for the Mexican telenovela Rebelde, where the group originated from. Its music video has over 36 million views on YouTube.

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.

Promotion and reception

"Solo Quédate En Silencio" was released as the second single from Rebelde on 2 December 2004, by EMI.[4] A remix of the track was included on Best Of Remixes (2009), while the track itself was included on group's greatest hits album Best Of (2008).[5][6] The accompanying music video was directed by Pedro Damián, and features the group performing in Mexico City.[7] Mariana Canhisares wrote for the Brazilian website Omelete that the song is "iconic and engaging".[8] In 2013, Uproxx editor Lucas Villa listed it as among RBD's 20 best songs.[9] At the 2006 ASCAP Latin Music Awards, it was recognized as the best-performing Latin song of the year under "Pop/Balada" category.[10] That year, at the 2006 13th Billboard Latin Music Awards, the track was nominated for three categories, including Latin Pop Airplay Song Of The Year – Duo or Group, Latin Pop Airplay Song Of The Year – New Artist, and Latin Ringtone of the Year.[11] Commercially, it became RBD's first number one song on the Billboard Latin Pop Airplay and Regional Mexican Airplay charts,[12][13] also peaking at number two in Chile and Mexico.[14][15]

Its Portuguese counterpart, "Fique em Silêncio", was released as a single on Brazilian radio stations.[16] It was the 25th best-performing track of 2006 on the Crowley Broadcast Analysis year-end chart.[17] "Solo Quédate En Silencio" was covered by the cast of the Netflix reboot series Rebelde (2022) as part of the show's soundtrack.[18] Mexican rock band Moderatto recorded a cover in collaboration with Mexican singer-songwriter Danna Paola for their ninth and RBD tribute album, Rockea Bien Duro.[19] The song was performed at the Tour Generación RBD (2005–07),[20] Tour Celestial (2007–08),[21] Empezar Desde Cero Tour (2008),[22] Tour del Adiós (2008),[23] and Soy Rebelde Tour (2023).[24]
