Notes

  • The songs "Honey Baby" and "Pablo Escobar" (later renamed "angel") were originally made to be included in this EP but for unrevealed reasons they were left out of the final version.
  • A music video for the song "Know What I Want" was shot and uploaded to Uchis' official Youtube Channel. For unclear reasons the video was archived and it can no longer be viewed from her channel.
  • The artwork has been changed several times throughout the years.
