"Te Lo Agradezco,Pero No" was written by Alejandro Sanz for his album El Tren de los Momentos (2006). He also handled the song's production together with Lulo Pérez. [1] Shakira,a close friend of Sanz,was the one who approached him in order to sing on his album,asking of him to make sure that she sounds "nothing like she does on her own". [2] "Te Lo Agradezco,Pero No" marks the second time Sanz and Shakira collaborated after "La Tortura",included on the latter's Fijación Oral,Vol. 1 (2005). Sanz stated,"I hadn't dared ask her if she wanted to do something with me,because it was a little like,'I sing with you,now sing with me'. Plus,we didn't want it to be 'La Tortura 2' because we're very considerate of each other. She's the one who came and said,'Hey,I want to sing'." [3] He concluded the interview by saying that with the collaborations,he managed to expand his artistry by experimenting with new styles. [3]
An extended play (EP) featuring several remixes of the song was released on 6 March 2007.
