The unreleased track samples "Ready or Not" by the Fugees.[5]

On November 18, 2021, Anuel AA announced the track listing for the album via the final basketball game between Capitanes de Arecibo and Mets de Guaynabo. The names and numbers of the tracks were on the warm-up shirts of the Capitanes team.[citation needed]
