Background

After Venegas' last performance on her worldwide "Otra Cosa Tour," she announced a break to begin recording her new studio album.

She stated in an article with the Mexican newspaper Milenio that it would be recorded from home so she could play the dual role of recording artist and mother.{{cite web|url=http://musica.univision.com/noticias/article/2012-02-28/julieta-venegas-dedicada-a-nueva-produccion-que-graba-desde-casa |title=Julieta Venegas combina la maternidad con la grabación de su nuevo disco |work=Univision |date=February 28, 2012 |accessdate=October 16, 2012|language=Spanish}}

After a nine-month hiatus from performing, the "European Tour July 2012" was announced on July 4, 2012, with scheduled stops in France, several cities in Spain and Germany. Upon return from the tour to Mexico City in August, Venegas continued recording her album and posted its progress with photos and videos on her official website as well as her Facebook fan page.{{cite web|url=http://www.julietavenegas.net/noticias.html |title=Una probadita de las grabaciones |work=julietavenegas.net |date=June 26, 2012 |accessdate=October 16, 2012 |language=Spanish |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120914235721/http://julietavenegas.net/noticias.html |archivedate=September 14, 2012 }}{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151170930168069&set=a.286760428068.146051.85807888068&type=1&theater |title= Facebook - Julieta Venegas - Fin de la mezcla |work=Facebook |date=September 10, 2012 |accessdate=October 16, 2012|language=Spanish}}
