'"Quin Como T"' (English: 'Who Like You') is a ballad and title track written and performed by Mexican singer-songwriter Ana Gabriel. It was produced by scar Gmez for Gabriel's fifth studio album 'Quin como t' (1989). Released as the second single from the album, the song became the third number-one single for the singer in the 'Billboard' Top Latin Songs chart in May of the same year. Live performances of the song can be found on the albums 'En Vivo' (1990) and '...En la Plaza de Toros Mxico' (1998).
It also has been included on several compilation albums released by Gabriel, including 'Personalidad' (1992), 'Una Voz Para tu Corazn 30 Grandes xitos' (2000), 'Historia de Una Reina' (2005), 'Lo Esencial de Ana Gabriel' (2009) and 'Mis Favoritas' (2010). It is recognized as one of Ana Gabriel's signature songs.
The song debuted on the 'Billboard' Top Latin Songs chart (formerly Hot Latin Tracks) at number 33 on April 7, 1990 and rose to the top ten the following week, climbing 28 spots. It reached the top position of the chart on May 5, 1990, replacing French band Gipsy Kings' "Volar" and being succeeded by "El Cario Es Como Una Flor" by Rudy La Scala. It ranked sixth at the year-end chart of 1990 and was nominated for Pop Song of the Year at the 1991 Lo Nuestro Awards, which it lost to "Es Demasiado Tarde", also written and performed by Gabriel.
The song spent 22 weeks within the Top 40 and became the sixth top ten single for the singer in the chart, and third number-one hit, after "Ay Amor" (1987) and "Simplemente Amigos" (1988). The parent album peaked at the top of the 'Billboard' Latin Pop Albums chart.

In 2015, Mexican singer Lucero released a version of the track as the lead single from the album 'Aqu Estoy', a tribute to Ana Gabriel. For the single release, Lucero re-recorded the track with Puerto Rican-American singer-songwriter Luis Fonsi and debuted the song at the reality show 'Yo Soy el Artista'. This version peaked at number 32 in the 'Billboard' Mexican Espanol Airplay chart.
