  • "Estar Contigo" was the first single to be released from the album. It was written by Ubago and was originally recorded by him and Burke. The track was released to radio on July 26, 2010, and peaked at number 22 in theBillboardTop Latin Songs chart.[5]About the song, Villamizar said: "When I heard the song with their voices, I said 'I do not sing'". Then they sent the recording to the label, who immediately asked, "Where's Jorge?" and returned the song to be completed by the trio. This changed the nature of the song; according to Gabriela Martinez, Vice President of Marketing at Warner Music Latina, "Estar Contigo" "went from being a song [about a] romantic couple, a love song, [to one] may be between father and son or friends, every relationship is applied."[6]
  • "La Canción del Pescado" was the second single from the album and was released in April 2011.[7]The track peaked at number 37 in theBillboardLatin Pop Airplay chart.[8]
