Obsesiones (English: Obsessions) is the twelfth studio album by Mexican pop singer Yuri. It was released in August 1992 through Sony Music Latino under the Columbia Records imprint. The album was produced by Spanish producer Mariano Pérez and marked a continuation of the singer's crossover commercial success, generating notable singles such as "Decir adiós" (a Spanish adaptation of "As Time Goes By") and the salsa-infused duet "Química perfecta" featuring Nicaraguan vocalist Luis Enrique. Following its distribution, the project was certified Platinum in Mexico by AMPROFON for shipping over 260,000 units. Mexican entertainment publication ERES recognized the release by selecting it as one of the top ten most influential Spanish-language albums of 1992. In 2009, Mexican singer Mijares recorded a cover version of the album track "Como te amé" (originally a Spanish-language rendition of Dionne Warwick's "I'll Never Love This Way Again") for his platinum-certified studio album Vivir Así.
