Decked out in a shiny patent leather corset and blunt Velma Kelly-esque bob, Thalía in full dom mode sensuously saunters onto the screen in a dripping wet industrial warehouse set to the brassy, light ska beat of the 1996 single "Gracias a Dios."
"Gracias a Dios" marks the fifth single from the Mexican pop icon's fourth album, 1995's " . The banger, written by El Divo de Juárez, followed some of Thalía's biggest hits, including "Piel Morena," "Maria la del Barrio" and "Sangre," spending five weeks on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, peaking at No. 26 and hitting No. 8 on the Latin Pop Airplay chart.
I spent countless Sundays cleaning with the scent of Suavitel wafting through our house and the song reverberating from my mom's stereo... for me, a ska-loving punk teen... "Gracias a Dios" hit the Venn diagram of pop culture that molded me.
Thalía was far from a newbie on the scene when the song became a hit, as she already established a strong presence in Latin pop prior to "Gracias a Dios."
