One of the songs features Spanish singer [[Juan Magán]], who she has previously collaborated with in past projects. Belinda finally talked about the leaking of her music video "Bailalo", describing it as "a video full of colors, talent and [[Cirque du Soleil]] in Las Vegas".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.milenio.com/espectaculos/famosos/coronavirus-belinda-cancela-proyectos-tema-terror|title=Es un tema de terror: Belinda cancela dos proyectos debido a pandemia de coronavirus|date=13 March 2020|access-date=15 March 2020|archive-date=14 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200314152413/https://www.milenio.com/espectaculos/famosos/coronavirus-belinda-cancela-proyectos-tema-terror|url-status=live}}</ref>
