"Tuesday, seven o'clock in the afternoon, Melia Innside hotel, fifth floor." Those were the instructions to get to Paulina Rubio (51), who summoned us -this May 16- in her suite overlooking the Gran Vía. And while LOC didn't know exactly what her room number was, the noise gave The Golden Girl away. "Can you turn up the music a little?" Paulina was heard saying from the hallway. Despite this, no one suspected that the Mexican had turned her bed into a real dance floor.

When LOC arrived, Rubio was taking pictures, jumping and singing to the beat of It's Not My Fault. His latest single has already become a fan favorite. And it is that after a year without releasing a single, the interpreter has returned with a song about the need to enjoy to the fullest. "It's not my fault she was born in the middle of an agonizing pandemic and recording it healed me. I believe that a song can save your life and I think this theme encourages you to live again," he said.

In It's Not My Fault, Rubio, who is single, says she "wants to get lost," "sweat all night" and "kiss some stranger." Lines that exude a desire for rumba. However, her fans say that the song is also "feminist", because it talks about owning your own decisions. "I see it as a powerful issue. Because I am power. And yes, I feel empowered to say to someone 'you, come' and muah, kiss them. But you can take the song however you want: as a satire or as a theme that sets you free," he said.

According to Paulina, she feels completely free and empowered. Two feelings that he has conquered through self-love. "I have succeeded, because I have understood that love has to come from me. I am a yogi, I meditate, I write at night and I make my affirmations. In short: I give myself love to continue being the chief of the tribe and the owner of the circus. I think I'm a survivor," she said.

Rubio talks about "survival," because — for four decades — he has been driving his own boat. In 1982 she started in the children's group Timbiriche and in the 90s, as a soloist, she began a career full of "empowering" hits, such as Mío or Yo no soy esa mujer. "I think I've empowered men and women. And I like it. I empower, because I believe I have that voice. And you also help me, lift me up. When I have fallen, they have asked the Pauline of always, the one who dances and kisses everyone. And yes, that's me," he explained.

Rubio is not one of those singers who practice false modesty. She knows her worth, understands that she has opened doors, and even understands her "diva" status. A word that identifies it. "I like to be told I'm a star. I've earned it. I'm a diva. But I'm also more than that. I'm also Nico and Eros' mom. A woman who has a career, travels the world, but who is also a mother," she confessed.

In fact, that's why Paulina wants to produce a series about her life: so that her fans know all its dimensions. "I'll start with a docuseries, showing that independent woman, mom, musician, singer and her day-to-day life. Because I know my fans want to see me behind the camera," he said, later revealing how he reconciles work with his family life.

"Fortunately, I have a home studio and that gives me the possibility to explore, to do things with friends and for my children to be part of this process. They are my thermometer. It's that they know what works and what doesn't. They are very good for tasting," said the artist about Eros, the result of her relationship with singer Gerardo Bazúa, and Nico, her son with Colate Vallejo-Nágera.

About the Spanish businessman, Rubio does not say "not a single word" (as one of his songs says). However, he has no problem referring to his children. "I don't know if they are singers. Maybe one more than the other. But I don't force them. Perhaps, being a child artist, I have tried to make them enjoy their childhood very much... I won't tell you that I didn't enjoy my childhood, but I won't tell you that it's an easy world either."

Rubio also remembered his mother: Mexican actress Susana Dosamantes, who died in 2022. "I've written with her in mind and some have been joyful songs. Because I have been very fortunate to have a mother so present, so alive and so healthy. She was always there with me. Apart from her great profession, she was my mother, she gave a lot to her family and always accompanied me," he said. Moreover, since childhood, Paulina learned to deal with fame, thanks to her mother.

"Of course I'm used to this life of madness and flashes. But I have also learned to look for moments of peace. Incognito. For example, I went to the Plaza Mayor on Sunday and I went for tapas. I have enjoyed San Isidro, as I always enjoy Spain. I have very good memories here, great parties. Like one we set up with Enrique Iglesias, in Malaga, with MTV, a few years ago. And soon I'll be messing it up again! I'll be at Pride in Barcelona. I'm going to release a single... And we're going to have fun!"
