Background

The album is composed of twelve songs leaning more towards romantic ballads, Yatra said about the album that "there's something we all have in common — love. So if I write the songs that are born from my soul about most difficult moments or the happiest, I know that I can connect with people", the theme of love appears throughout the album in songs such as "Elena", which is named after Mauricio Rengifo's daughter, and "Nunca Nos Preparamos Para Tanto Amor" ("We Never Prepared Ourselves for So Much Love"), written about an ex-girlfriend of Yatra.[8] The song "En Guerra" ("In War"), which has a message about bullying and internal struggles, was chosen as an anti-bullying anthem by the Colombian organization Scholas Foundation, an organization where Yatra is also an embassador.[9]

Singles

During 2017, Yatra released the singles "Vuelve" and "Atado Entre Tus Manos", the former alongside Spanish singer Beret and the latter with Colombian singer Tommy Torres.[1] On January 17, 2019, he released "Un Año", a collaboration with Mexican band Reik, the single was a commercial success in Latin America reaching the top ten in Argentina, Ecuardor, Mexico and Spain.[10][11][12][13] During 2019, he released "Cristina" and "En Guerra", the latter with Colombian singer Camilo.

On March 26, 2020, Yatra released a re-recorded version of "Falta Amor" with Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin, the single reached at 19 on the US Latin Pop Airplay and charted on several Latin American countries.[14]
