De Todas las Floresbecame Lafourcade's first project of completely original material in seven years, since her fifth studio albumHasta la Raíz(2015).[1][3]The album was produced by French-Mexican musicianAdán Jodorowsky,once a neighbor of Lafourcade inMexico City,who also enlisted American guitaristMarc Ribot,American bassistSebastian Steinberg,and French percussionist Cyril Atef to play on the album. Pianist and arranger Emilio Dorantes also performs on the album.[1]

Lafourcade described the album as her "musical diary," exploring heartbreak, loss, and grief themes. She drew inspiration from nature, especially her home garden inXalapa,Veracruz.[4]The album's title "references the inner flowers that have withered and the ones still blooming."[5]Lafourcade's influences for the album includeVioleta Parra,Omara Portuondo,andJoni Mitchell.[1]

The album was recorded entirely on analog tape in aTexastown nearEl Paso.[1][4]
