Background

To commemorate 20 years of musical career, Alejandra Guzmán decided to record a live album at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. Guzmán asked Jay de la Cueva to produce the album and include his band Moderatto in the show. About the recording, Guzmán said that the main reason is to have a more produced show to perform songs of the bad and good things that have happened to her, "it's been many years, we want to make them he publichappy." The album was recorded after Guzmán's featured performance on the album ''En Primera Fila'' by Venezuelan singer-songwriter Franco De Vita, with the song "Tan Sólo Tú", which resulted in two nominations for the Latin Grammy Awards of 2011: Record of the Year and Best Long Form Music Video. The album is Guzmán's third live album following ''La Guzmán'' (1998) and '' Alejandra Guzmán En Vivo'' (2003).

Ten songs previously recorded by the singer are included: "Llama Por Favor", "Un Grito en la Noche" and the title track from her album ''Eternamente Bella'' of 1990. "Hacer El Amor Con Otro" and "Güera" are taken from ''Flor de Papel'' (1991). "Mala Hierba" and "Mírala, Míralo" were first included on ''Libre'' in 1993. " De Verdad" was the lead single from '' Soy'' (2001). "Volverte a Amar" from '' Indeleble'' in 2006. "Verano Peligroso" is the theme song of a film starred by Guzmán in 1991, and was first included on her compilation album ''Lo Más Prendido''. The album is the first to feature the song "Día de Suerte", the theme song of the Mexican telenovela '' Una familia con suerte''. "Ya Lo Veía Venir" was the first single from Moderatto's 2008 album ''Queremos Rock''. "No Te Lo Tomes Personal" is a new song written by Jay de la Cueva and Guzmán.
