Background
About the album, Camilo said that it was "handcrafted at home, with my family, and though they call me an artist, I consider myself an artisan, if it wasn't for La Tribu (my fans), if it wasn't for God, there is no chance that I would be where I am today, growing as an artist and as a human being are separate things and they work differently, so in order to be big, one has to be small and feel like they are at all times doing things for the first time (Por Primera Vez).". The main theme of the album is love, with his relationship with his wife, Evaluna Montaner, being one of the main inspirations for the album, Montaner also appears in the title track.
