Belinda worked with a close-knit group of award-winning producers and songwriters such as Victor "El Nasi", Joan Ortiz, Jorge Villamizar, Andres Castro, Lavi Beats, Lavi Hoss and Vein. [3] The album shows a more dance-pop sound, combined with an urban flavor and lyrics with popular appeal. [3]

México; "Te Voy A Esperar" at the Premios Ondas 2012 with Juan Magán; [7] and "En La Obscuridad" at the Premios Telehit 2012, Tour Positivo and Mexico Sueña. [8] She has made many interviews around Europe, Latin America and United States to promote the album, she also has been on a promo tour across United States, Spain and Mexico.
