 Weeks before the release of "Independiente", Arjona issued a letter in which he talked about his past relations with recording companies.In the letter, he revealed that he entered in his first record label as an exchange, commenting that "a producer, friend of mine, told them [the record label] that if they don't sign me they won't sign two artists he had [at that time]", and that he received the "minimum royalty percentage" out from his most successful albums.
