Music video
The music video was directed by Mexican video director Alejandro Lozano, and was premiered in January 2004 on MTV Latino.
In the video, Belinda plays the guardian angel of a young man (portrayed by Belinda's then boyfriend Eddy Vilard) she is in love with. He is seen driving at night by the roadside with his angel by his side, who appears to be invisible and inaudible to him, before suffering a serious accident on the road, leaving him on the verge of death. Paramedics try to save him, and just as they are about to give up, his angel (Belinda) magically brings him back to life with by placing her hand on his chest. The video alternates between scenes of Belinda singing the song on the road during the aftermath of the crash and to the boy in the copilot seat of his car while he is driving.
