"Equivocada" is the lead single of the live albumPrimera fila by Mexican pop star Thalía. The single was officially released on October 7, 2009. It is a tragic love ballad. The song is a success for Thalía, already exceeding the number of digital sales in Mexico, Latin America, USA and Europe. The song peaked at No. 2 in the Latin Pop songs category on the Billboard charts and No. 8 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.
Critical reception
Monica Herrera from Billboard Magazine gave a positive review for the song, saying that: "For the first single from her live album 'Thalía en Primera Fila', Mexican pop star Thalía delivers a moving ballad about a once-serious relationship that turned out to be a mistake. 'I was always wrong, and I just didn't want to see it,' she sings in Spanish. 'Because for you I gave my life/Because everything that begins also ends.' After a string of dance-pop singles that aimed for a crossover audience, it's refreshing to hear Thalía pull back and tackle a downtempo number with a classic feel, particularly in a live setting that allows her to showcase her vocals. Thalía recently posted a YouTube clip of herself in the studio with Aventura recording a bachata version of 'Equivocada'." The music video of the song is the live performance by Thalía in Bank United Center on 29 July 2009.
