The album was recorded in 2023[2] in Barcelona.[3] It was produced by Andrés Celis, who collaborated with Tijoux on the albums La Bala and Vengo.[4]
The first single from the album, "Niñx", was released on 18 May 2023. The video for the single was directed by Camila Grandi.[5] The second single, "Tania", was released on 5 October 2023 and is an ode to Tijoux's sister who died from cancer in 2019.[6]
Vida incorporates elements of hip-hop, Latin rhythms, and jazz.[4] String arrangements for the album were done by Alberto Pérez.[6] The influence of Afrobeats and reggaeton can be heard on the tracks "Cora", "Dime qué", and "Bailando solo aquí".[7]
Vida includes collaborations with several artists, including Omar Lye-Fook, Talib Kweli and Plug. The song "Busco Mi Nombre" concerns those who were disappeared during the dictatorships in Argentina and Chile and features iLe of the Puerto Rican group Calle 13.[3] The track "Busco" samples a monologue by Estela de Carlotto of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo.[8]
