Background

On October 1, 2012, Rivera's publicist announced Rivera filed for divorce from her husband Esteban Loaiza due to "irreconcilable differences on behalf of both parties derived from private circumstances that occurred during the lapse of their two-year marriage." The lead single that gave the album its name states "Yo sin ti seguiré siendo la misma gran señora, tu sin mi, nada vales en el mundo desde ahora" which translates to, "Me without you, I am still the great lady, you without me, you are nothing in the world anymore".[4][5][6]
