Background
Valenzuela wrote the single in mid-2013 on piano before learning to use special software to achieve the song's electropop synthesized beats. She revealed that the song was most "danceable" on her album because it incorporated new arrangements and noted that the single also marked a stylistic change in her career. The single was recorded in Los Angeles, California, where Valenzuela had relocated in order to work on her new album. Vicente Sanfuentes, Valenzuela, and Grammy nominated producer, Jesse Rogg, co-produced the single.
