It'll have a lot of different genres, and it'll be a mix of styles and experiments [that] I always like to do".[9]

During 2023, she continued releasing singles such as "Chulo", "El Sol Me Da" (a promotional single for a Estrella Damm advertisement), "Mi Lova" with Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers, and a remix of "Chulo" titled "Chulo pt. 2" alongside Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko and Dominican singer Tokischa.[10][11] The latter two singles were included in the album.[12][13] In November 2023, the album was announced to be released on January of the following year through a teaser video uploaded to Bad Gyal's YouTube channel.[14] Later in the year, on 13 December, she announced via her Instagram account, the albums official release date, tracklist, album cover, and featured artists.[1]
