Background
While DannyLux was working on his fourth album, a hard drive containing the only copies of his unreleased music was stolen from his engineer's rental car. The artist stated re-recording the songs "was not gonna be the same", choosing to include only the demos for "No Pasa Nada", "Instinto Natural", and "Carrusel Eterno". The rest of the album was written after his Mexican tour, with DannyLux stating "the songs on this album were the saddest songs I've ever made".[1]
