Background

The album is composed of twelve songs leaning more towards romantic ballads, Yatra said about the album that "there's something we all have in common — love. So if I write the songs that are born from my soul about most difficult moments or the happiest, I know that I can connect with people", the theme of love appears throughout the album in songs such as "Elena", which is named after Mauricio Rengifo's daughter, and "Nunca Nos Preparamos Para Tanto Amor" ("We Never Prepared Ourselves for So Much Love"), written about an ex-girlfriend of Yatra. The song "En Guerra" ("In War"), which has a message about bullying and internal struggles, was chosen as an anti-bullying anthem by the Colombian organization ''Scholas Foundation'', an organization where Yatra is also an embassador.
