Prior to the release of the album, Sech released an EP titled A Side on April 16, 2020, the EP was composed of four songs, "Goteras", "Panama City", "Fé" and "Trofeo", all four songs were eventually included into 1 of 1.[4] The date for the release of the album alongside its number of tracks and collaborations was announced by Sech himself during a zoom listening party from Panama City, where he lived during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]

The album was released on May 21, 2020, composing of 21 tracks and featuring collaborations with urban music artists such as Daddy Yankee and Ozuna, among others, about the release and reception of the album, Sech said that "the uncertainty was huge, I was very nervous but the result is being much better that I have imagined, I am very happy".[6] The name of the album comes from the fact that each song is separated from the others, only connected by Sech's voice and the themes of love and heartbreak.[6]
