"Manías"
Song

"Manías" ("Hobbies") is a Latin pop ballad by Mexican singer Thalía, from her eleventh studio album Habítame Siempre. The song was written and composed by Raul Ornelas[1][2] and was released worldwide by Sony Music as the lead single from the album on October 8, 2012. It marks Thalía's return to music after four years without a studio recorded single released.[3]

As Thalía announced herself through her official Twitter account, the song is dedicated to her mother who died last year.[4] "Manías" has received highly positive reviews from the critics, who acclaimed Thalía's artistic evolution and vocal abilities. It also had a positive impact in digital sales, managing to debut in over 20 countries on the first day of its release, reaching the top position in many of them. Thalía performed the song live for the first time in her special Univision TV concert entitled "Habitame Siempre". Her concert was broadcast on Univision Network in the United States on November 18, 2012.[5]
