One night, I had writer's block and decided to check out some old voice notes from 2014. It was a short chord progression, and I mumbled Naci Sin Ley y vuelvo a caer while strumming the guitar. I remembered that Cesarina, my girlfriend writes poetry and can also sing. So, I asked her if she could write some lyrics for this song idea. At 4 a.m., I got a text and a picture from her with about four paragraphs of material. I was impressed and motivated to try something new. I am a big fan of Queens of the Stone Age. And I have been listening to their song, "I appear missing," nonstop for years. I love how epic and powerful the music feels, and I wanted to try to do the same. I made minor changes to the lyrics and explained to Cesarina what I wanted to do with this song. I created a drum loop, grabbed my electric guitar, and went for it. I showed her what I came up with, and she got excited. After I got all the kinks out of the track, I spoke with Juan, who did the first drum track. Then I contacted Edwin and Abraham, and they did their thing. For this song, I went to a recording studio in the Bronx and laid some vocals on the track. I mixed it, and I felt it needed some keys and synths to make it feel more epic. I contacted Rafael Solano, an incredible multi-instrumentalist, and explained what I wanted. Eventually, I got Dan Konopka from OkGo and asked him if he could do the drums, mix and master the track, and the rest is history.
