Como La Flor was released in 1992 as a single from Selena y Los Dinos' album Entre a Mi Mundo, written by A.B. Quintanilla and Pete Astudillo. It became Selena's signature song and a defining Tejano cumbia, known for its flower as love metaphor comparing love to a withered flower. After her death in 1995 the song endured through radio, tribute performances and later streaming and social media, where short excerpts are reused as an instant shorthand for Selena's legacy and 1990s Latin pop nostalgia.
