Background and release

On 15 August 2008, after four years together, RBD announced their separation through a press release.[3] They embarked on their Tour del Adiós, which started in October and ended in December. Band member Maite Perroni revealed that recording for their last studio album had ended in November. Before its release, Hispanic American network Univision stated that the song had been leaked onto the internet, forcing the band to release it earlier than it was planned.[4] "Para Olvidarte De Mí" was released as the only single from the album, and lacked any promotion apart from its music video.
