The lead vocals on "Empezar Desde Cero" are sung only by Maite Perroni, while the rest of the group provides background vocals on the choruses. It is the group's fourth solo-single (third in Spanish) after "Sálvame" (Spanish, sung by Anahí), "No Pares" (Spanish, sung by Dulce María) and "Tu Amor" (English, sung by Christian Chávez).

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Empezar Desde Cero" was filmed on February 28, 2008 and premiered a month later on March 25 through RBD's Gyggs community.

The video is based on the 1970s. It shows Maite waking up, taking a bath, putting clothing on, whereafter she meets her friends (Dulce María and Anahí). So on, to the subway, she finds Christopher von Uckermann and Alfonso Herrera to wall up Maite in order for her to quickly change clothes.

A new scene starts at the end of the chorus, showing Maite and Christian Chávez flirting, and then, Maite, Dulce and Anahí tanning at the beach, and Christopher and Alfonso walking on the beach. It cuts to a scene where Maite is singing as a pop diva, dressed in a black jacket, it cuts again, showing the entire group having fun together, and then the day ends. A new day starts, showing Maite in her routine, but now, meeting all her friends together and singing with them (Dulce and Christopher talking inside a phone booth). The video ends with everyone singing together over drinks.
