As they had done the previous year, the group re-recorded their latest studio album at the time in Portuguese, and released it on December 4, 2006. This time, however, different to the group's previous Portuguese albums, the recording and initial promotion for the album were done in Brazil. Also different from the previous Portuguese editions was that the Spanish songs included on the album were re-recorded too, and slightly rearranged. Another difference is that this Portuguese edition was released in the same year as its Spanish counterpart, while the previous two (''Rebelde (Edição Brasil)'' and ''Nosso Amor Rebelde'') were recorded and released the year after their original albums' releases. The album was recorded in studios in
