The singer later thanked fans for their support after sharing the song on Instagram and revealed why she was so proud of it and what it meant to her.

"When I was 7-years-old I had the honor of singing a song for Pope John Paul on his visit to Mexico and today to be able to perform this song is an honor," she wrote.

Anahí is not only a popular Mexican music artist and actress but she is also happens to be the wife of the Governor of Chiapas, Manuel Velasco Coello.

The "Rumba" singer began dating the politician in 2012, and the two were married in in April 2015.

Back in December 2015, the singer shared photos on social media from her first time meeting the pope in Italy and called the meeting "the most beautiful experience!"
