Becerra stated: “This July 29 a song that means a lot to me "Mi Debilidad" is going to be released. I wrote it with every part of my heart. It's the only song in which I cried while writing, and it's because its message moves me. The weakness, the dependence that you can feel for someone or something, and for that person to have the power to change your day, your mood, your essence. It is up to each one to have the strength so if in this situation it does not become your greatest weakness.”[3] The song was officially released on 29 July 2021.

La escribí con cada parte de mi corazón. Es la única canción que lloré al escribir, y es porque su mensaje me moviliza. La debilidad, la dependencia, que se puede llegar a sentir por alguien o por algo, y que este tenga el poder de modificar tu dia, tu humor, tu esencia. Depende de cada uno tener la fortaleza para que esta situación no se convierta en tu mayor debilidad. Alguna vez se sintieron así?
