Background

While the song is part of Royce's second album, it was not considered nor promoted as a single for Phase II . The song was released in 2011 but the song "Las Cosas Pequeñas", which was released in 2012, became the album's first single instead. When Addicted was released, it was promoted as a single for an English album that Royce had plans to release it in 2012. [5] However, he ended up adding it to his second bachata album and didn't release his English album until 2015 with Double Vision in which the song was not included in.
