This is the second attempt by Televisa in producing this series. The 2003 version began production strangely enough without originally being called "Las Amazonas". Midway through production, executives decided to change the title. This created all sorts of confusion as not even the actors back knew the name of the product. Matters were not helped as the script called for the character of Victoriano to affectionately call his daughters Amazons, due to their ability to ride thoroughbred horses in the ranch. The soap opera finally come up with a name: "Niña Amada Mía" ("My beloved girl") as the production wanted to vertically integrate popular songs making he public identify the song with their drama. The theme song was sung by Mexican superstar Alejandro Fernandez.
