      Background


      The album was recorded after a tour through Latin America, Europe and United States that followed Venegas previous album Los Momentos, it was produced alongside frequent collaborator Cachorro López and Yamil Rezc, and features a song, "Buenas Noches, Desolación", written with Miranda!'s Ale Sergi, with whom Venegas used to be a member of the supergroup Meteoros alongside López and Didi Gutman.
      The name of the album, translated to "something happens" comes from the idea that "life is continuous movement and therefore there is always the possibility that something will happen", according to Venegas "I approach it from a positive perspective, because something can always happen to you, life can always surprise you, it can always teach you a lesson, or something incredible can happen that you did not expect, it has to do with everything. I mention that possibility on the album, it's something I like and that's why I chose this title".

      Critical reception



      Andrew Casillas from Club Fonograma gave the album four out of five stars writing that the album "delivers an array of addictive melodies, subversive wordplay, and delicately intricate arrangements that's been the foundation of Julieta's career thus far", he continued by saying that while the album would not have the impact on the music industry like some of her previous albums had, it was "the culmination of an artist whose spent over a decade refining her style into a workhorse of pop pleasantry and infectious wordplay", he also highlighted the song "Porvenir" as "easily the most gorgeous" among the songs in the album.
      Mireia Pería from Jenesaispop gave the album a seven out of ten, saying that while the album was not brilliant it was a great follow-up to Los Momentos, her previous album, she also highlighted the songs "Esperaba", "Algo Sucede", "Se Explicará" and "Explosión" as the best in the album. Álex Jerez from Mondo Sonoro also gave the album a seven out of ten writing that "with Algo Sucede we cannot speak of a leap in Julieta's career, but rather of that album in which an artist puts on the brakes and presents everything learned in these long years".
