Recording and background

The album is the English-language version of her previous album ''Chicas Malas'' (2001). The album was originally planned to be released in March 2003, months after the release of ''Chicas Malas'', later, the date was moved to September 2003, finally the album was released on November 11, 2003. This CD was sold only in Spain (as a gift to her fans) through her website, and Greece, the album was set to be released in the United States and Europe by Epic Records, but the release was cancelled. The radio remix by Steelworks of "I Ain't Gonna Cry" (English version of "No Voy a Llorar") was released as the first and only single from the album.

Five years after it was recorded, the album was finally released in the United States on May 9, 2006. Although the English-language versions of the ballads "De Qué Me Sirve Ya" ("Let The Love Begin") and "Lágrimas de Escarcha" ("If You Say You Love Me") were recorded, in order to be more danceable and commercial album, neither of the songs were included on the album's final track listing but remained unreleased until 2005, when both songs were released through her website.
