Therefore, the band picked "Te Extraño, Te Olvido, Te Amo", as the song that "made Ricky Martin famous" to cover in their own style. González also told the newspaper about collaborating with Rivera: "She is a very mediatic girl, current, current, and even when people place her more by the scandals, she is a great person, especially with great talent, which is why we are happy with the result of the new product."[50][51][52]
