Lola... Érase Una Vez is a teen-targeted Mexican melodrama telenovela produced by Televisa, adapted from the Argentine global phenomenon and teenage telenovela Floricienta.

It debuted in Mexico on February 26, 2007, starring Aarón Díaz and Eiza González. The show gained popularity among teens and children not only in Mexico but also internationally, including Venezuela, Spain, and the United States. With concert performances filling major auditoriums and songs by the protagonist becoming radio hits, it debuted in the United States on Univision in March 2008 and ended on January 26, 2009. The series consisted of 224 episodes that aired Monday through Friday at 3 P.M., intentionally designed for teenagers to watch after school, as is typical for most teenage and children telenovelas on Spanish networks.
