Selected song -
Lyrically, "Como Duele" was intended to show "the monotony that attacks the couples that have many years together, the lack of passion and regreted love that seems to pose over them." The song became an commercial success for Arjona, becoming his first top ten single in the US Billboard Top Lating Songs since 2005 and, with a peak of No.2, his highest entry on that list since "El Problema" in 2002. It also became his sixth song to top the Latin Pop Songs chart, as well as reaching the top in Mexico and Venezuela.
