On April 19, 2006, the first single off the album was released, a new song titled "No Pares", which was sung solely by Dulce María. The song proved to be a total success on Mexican radio. The song was written by former Mexican pop star Lynda Thomas and producer Carlos Lara.
Background and release
- —Dulce María talking about "No Pares", the live album's first single.
The live album was recorded on January 21, 2006 at the show performed in the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, California, which was part of RBD's second concert tour, titled 'Tour Generación 2006' or 'Nuestro Amor Tour'. The concert was the first the band performed in the United States. The show itself had a visually colorful and acoustic style, even counting with the support of a gospel choir.
One of the members of RBD, Christian Chávez, explained during an interview that the songs recorded belonged to the Nuestro Amor album, the difference being that this time the songs were acoustic, and added: "There are many instruments, strings, percussions, and the finished product is something very cool, more intimate".
The album was simultaneously put on sale on April 4, 2006 in Mexico, Brazil, and the United States. The live concert DVD recorded on January 21, 2006 was also released the same day. In Spain, the live album was released on December 11, 2006.[2] The release is mostly composed of the songs included in RBD's second studio album, Nuestro Amor.

- Notes
- "Me Voy" is the Spanish cover version of Kelly Clarkson's "Gone", originally released on Clarkson's Multi-Platinum album Breakaway (2004).
- "Feliz Cumpleaños" is the Spanish version of Mikeyla's "Happy Worst Day".
- Although the DVD featured the original live audio, the CD had re-recorded songs, mostly by Anahí, due to her vocal problem at the time the concert was recorded.
