Background and recording
In 2004, filming began on the Mexican telenovela Rebelde; its six main young actors Anahí, Alfonso Herrera, Dulce María, Maite Perroni, Christopher Uckermann and Christian Chávez would go on to form the musical group RBD, having their first studio album released on November 30, 2004, in Mexico. The album's vocals were recorded in just two days, as stated by the members of RBD themselves. RBD's six vocalists sung all of the album's 11 songs in the studios of two of the album's producers: Armando Ávila and Carlos Lara. The album was executive produced by renowned Mexican television producer Pedro Damián. The album was later released on January 11, 2005, in the United States and the rest of Latin America.
