Shortly after, she recorded her first full-album, This Time. It went platinum in sales, and Natalia started her first tour, the This Time Live Tour. Originally planned as a 20 date tour, it was extended to 90 dates due to massive ticket demands.

The fourth and last single of the This Time album was "I Want You Back", which peaked at number three in the charts.
