Background and marketing

After the band released their sixth studio album Pa Las Baby's y Belikeada (2023) and the surprise EP Dolido Pero No Arrepentido (2024), they announced that they would embark the Pero No Te Enamores tour.[1] They announced Pero No Te Enamores on July 16, 2024, and it was simultaneously promoted with murals that appeared in major cities, including the band's city of establishment, San Bernardino, California.[2] The murals depicted a painting of a crossed-out heart, with the album's release date and a Parental Advisory logo.[3] Explaining their marketing strategy in an interview with Billboard, they stated that the album's concept is about "[not] fall[ing] in love" and was "the album [they've] invested the most money on".[4] Its track list was also revealed on July 22, 2024.[5]

Composition

Pero No Te Enamores has been described as a regional Mexican and EDM record,[6] containing musical fusions of bachata,[7] hip hop,[8] house, Jersey club,[9] and reggaeton.[10] During a June 2024 listening party, lead vocalist Jesús Ortíz Paz stated that the album was inspired by the band's hit single "Harley Quinn" with Marshmello, in which they coined as a "jersey corrido".[11] He also stated that American singer Drake's album Honestly, Nevermind (2022) was an inspiration for the album, which led him to creating such album.[12]

Pero No Te Enamores debuted at number 25 on the US Billboard 200 with 23,000 album-equivalent units, making it their fifth entry on the chart.[13] Additionally, it debuted at number two on the US Top Latin Albums chart, making it their seventh album to debut within the top 10.[14]
