It was recorded in Argentina, under the supervision of Cachorro López, recognized producer who has worked with artists of the stature of Caifanes, Diego Torres and Julieta Venegas among others more. In addition of Cachorro Lopez, three of the eleven songs that compose this production were recorded in Guadalajara in co-production with DJ Mijangos.
Its first single "Me Pregunto" (“I Wonder”), is a single question to which no longer receive a frank and unique answer. "Miedo" ("Fear"), is a full song of irreverence, "Rosa Pastel" ("Pastel Pink") tells the story of a pink dream which cannot become true, "Tal Vez" ("Perhaps"), a ballad in which a girls tries to forget her ex-boyfriend.
