Background and release[edit]
After starting his career releasing music and having success with singles like "Jordan", "Monastery" and "Mujeriego", and in 2022 releasing two EPs, in 2023 speculation began about Ryan Castro's debut album. The rumors were confirmed when the singer announced through his social networks and WhatsApp channel at the beginning of 2024 that he was not going to let them down and that his debut album was going to be released that year.[4] Since then, he showed on his networks producing new music, deciding what to include and what not to.
Later, Ryan Castro sent a profile photo of the album and told his followers that they put it as their profile photo and that if most of them had it he would reveal the cover and track list. Finally, on April 16, 2024, the singer announced the album's release date, cover art, and track listing, and the next day along with the release of his song of the same name from the album called "La Salsa".[5]
