In 2006, the band DeJesus broke up and Rick DeJesus and some of friends from the band went on a detour to San Diego and decided to drive in a van to Tijuana, Mexico. DeJesus fell asleep and the van is pulled over by corrupted Mexican police officers who robbed them of their belongings; DeJesus managed to store some money in his sock. After being robbed the cops let them go and the members went to the nearest bar to drink to calm their nerves. They approached a bar named Adelita and entered, later discovering it was a brothel, DeJesus chatted with one of the girls who he described to be "beautiful", and was saddened by the young women's life style. As a result, DeJesus formed a new band and named it Adelitas Way, as it is also described by him in an interview with Brian Douglas, "She was never given a chance," said DeJesus, "since then I've learned to be thankful for everything." DeJesus wrote every single released song by himself or with other writers and band members.
