In 2016, El Hormiguero had invited the singer Alejandro Sanz, but was unable to attend because he was in Paraguay doing his Sirope Tour, so it was decided to call Marta Soto to be replaced, making a presentation in the program singing "A Que No Me Dejas".[13][14]

On 26 May 2017, Marta Soto, in collaboration with Warner Music Group, published the extended play Ya Lo Sabes.

On 31 August, Marta Soto releases her first studio album, "Míranos".[21] The album has the collaborations of the artists Blas Cantó and Julia Medina.[22] This has 12 songs, bringing with it some that had been released previously.[23] The album entered directly to number 1 of the best-selling albums of the week in Spain.[24][25]
