They confirmed their relationship the next month with photos of the two celebrating Rosalía's 29th birthday together.[4][5] In May 2022, Alejandro told Billboard that they had been working together in the studio and had material with plans to release it.[6] Rosalía confirmed this in her own Billboard interview in November.[7] The project was announced on March 13, 2023, with the cover art, track list, and release date posted to social media.[6]
