“Diego was very excited about this song coming out, which he composed together with Juan Gabriel, and the three of us had so much fun doing it, and with Amanda, who was also there, and in the end they didn’t let him. God knows why things happen, but it’s a shame. And it no longer matters if they give in or not because Diego longed for it.”

“He’s the one who was very excited about people listening to it. There was a misunderstanding saying that he wanted to take advantage of Juan Gabriel, but that was not the case and that caused him great sorrow. If it comes out now, great, but what’s the point,” shared the producer Gustavo Farías, who collaborated on several projects with Verdaguer, who was his friend for years.
