Her third album, Ni te lo imaginas, came out in 2006, under a new record label (Filmax, rather than Vale Music). There were four singles off the album, the first and the third becoming Gisela's most successful so far in her career. The first was Turu-Turu, a pop ballard reaching Number 1 in Spain on its second week. Amid the success of Turu-Turu, the second single Mágica La Notte managed to climb up to 62 on the Spanish iTunes chart, becoming Gisela's least successful single to date. This resulted in Filmax releasing a Special Edition version of the album, including two new songs, the first called Mi mundo eres tú and the second, Viviré en tus sueños. Viviré en tus sueños managed to climb up to Number 7 in the Spanish iTunes chart, helped by the film Perón" that had it as its theme song. The fourth single Mi mundo eres tú" was a radio only single, and it even managed to climb into the United Kingdom's iTunes pop chart at the end of 2007.
