Following the release of Eslabon Armado's third studio album Corta Venas (2020), which became one of their best-performing albums, lead vocalist Pedro Tovar suffered from a writer's block, attaining no inspiration in writing and thought about hiring other songwriters.[1] After asking his manager, Ángel del Villar, for help, he rented a resort in Los Angeles for Tovar to "relax and feel inspired". While in his travel, he eventually felt inspired in writing again.[1] In 2021, it was announced that guitarist Gabriel Hidalgo had left the group after the remaining members, brothers Pedro and Brian Tovar, were relocating.[2]
