Background Originally conceived as a solo song, "Mon Amour" was written in one hour in the evening sometime in October 2020. Zzoilo stated to El Español that "it was born one night when he couldn't sleep, I picked up the guitar and started playing the four simplest chords in the world, with which the vast majority of catchy and simple songs have been written. The lyrics came to me alone. It was five in the morning and the lyrics started like this, although when I finished it, it was six o'clock and I changed it." After being sent to VGBases, a close friend of Tuñón, the track went through a lot of recording stages, trying a vast majority of genres to fit the lyrics from reggaeton to rap and acoustic. The final version was recorded in seven hours. Remix After the song started to become more popular, singer Aitana tweeted the lyrics to the track on July 25. Both artists interacted on social media about a possible collaboration, which ended up being the remix to "Mon Amour". The Instagram private message conversation between the two is reflected in the single's cover. The duet was recorded in Madrid on July 30. Zzoilo later told the press that Aitana's work during 2020 and her sophomore album 11 Razones were a huge inspiration for the final conception of the song.
