RBD emerged from Rebelde, the Mexican telenovela that aired from 2004 to 2006 and followed students at an elite boarding school. The group became a major Latin pop act, and its title song was adapted into Portuguese for the show's huge Brazilian audience, released on a Brazilian edition of the debut album. That version helped the series build a lasting fan base in Brazil, where tours and later reunion projects kept the songs in circulation. The Portuguese recording is still shared by fans marking anniversaries, concerts and personal throwbacks.
