Background

On 19 August 2022, Feid released the title track of the album as a single to celebrate his 30th birthday. The same day, he announced that the album was set to be released later in the year on December.[3] On September, Feid announced via his Instagram account that the album had been leaked, deciding to advance the release of the album.[4] He also announced that on 1 December, the original date of release for the album, he would release another album as a continuation with the songs that did not make the first project.[5] Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo Te Pirateamos el Álbum was ultimately released on 14 September 2022, its name makes reference to the incident, translating to "Happy Birthday Ferxxo, We Pirated the Album".[6] Similar to the title, the cover art for the album also alludes to the leak, featuring a WhatsApp conversation about it. The cover was designed by Manuela Villada, Feid's sister, who has designed the cover for his previous albums.

About the leak, Feid said "I was incomplete, it was a disaster and I felt anger, but that feeling lasted about half an hour, after that, I spoke to my mom to see how we could take advantage of the situation, and luckily, we reacted quickly". In response to the leak, the songs were mastered and mixed in less than a day to prepare the release of the project.[7] It features production from Colombian producer Sky Rompiendo, who had previously worked with Feid in Inter Shibuya – La Mafia (2021), as well as from producers Jowan, Pardo, Federico Vindver and Rio Root, plus mixing and engineering by Wain, Mosty and Rolo.[8] All the songs were written by Feid and producers except "Intro", which contains people singing "Happy Birthday to You" in Spanish, Mildred J. Hill and Patty Hill are credited as writers.[9]

To promote the album, Feid embarked on a tour through United States titled U.S. Trip, produced by Live Nation. Initially intended to be in small clubs, following the success of the album it was decided that the tour would take place in larger venues.[10] The tour spanned fourteen cities starting on 13 October at Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta and ending on 25 November at The Belasco in Los Angeles.[11]

On 1 December 2022, he released Sixdo, a six-song EP composed of songs originally intended for Feliz Cumpleaños Ferxxo Te Pirateamos el Álbum.[5] It features collaborations with Zion & Lennox, Ak4:20, Taiko, Jory Boy and DJ Premier.[12]
