Singles

Yo te extrañaré

The first single from the album was "Yo te extrañaré" immediately distributed to Christian radio in Spanish in Central America, Mexico and the United States, the song was written and co-produced by Juan Carlos Rodríguez. The single was placed in the 27th position of the Latin Pop Airplay list of US magazine Billboard seven weeks by staying within their sales and reproductions of American radios. This song caused controversy among the religious public because of the subject matter of the lyrics which at first glance is the conversation between one person dead and another alive. The singer, Rodríguez, explained on Twitter:

It's a song of faith and hope and strength that ultimately brings you closer to God, because God's desire is that we continue forward. It is not the dead who is speaking but yourself. This is your own consciousness. Everything we did was put into song what consciousness tells us to think of the loved one who died. [5]

Juan Carlos said in a separate statement "This song is very special. We never thought it would have much impact, it really is a very pleasant surprise for it to be used at such a difficult time for someone ... I never imagined that it would become an anthem". [6] In 2013 the singer Lupillo Rivera made a Mexican regional music version of the song dedicated to his late sister Jenni Rivera. [7] Later in 2009 Tercer Cielo recorded the song in mariachi version and included it on the album Gente común, sueños extraordinarios. [8]
