Background
Since Amaia won the ninth edition of the Spanish talent show Operación Triunfo in February 2018, there has been a lot of expectation about how the singer would shape her first studio album. The month after that, the singer signed a contract with Universal Music which allowed her to release a single with the record label. Her talent show companions signed the same contact. The singer's fans began to worry about the release of her debut album as there were no news about it and all of Romero's talent show colleagues had already released some singles. In October 2018 Amaia stated that her debut album would be produced by Raül Refree who she admired since his work with Spanish singer Rosalía in her 2017 studio album Los ÁngelesEven though the singer confirmed that the album would be released in 2019, some rumors stated that there was a bad relationship between Amaia's manager and the director of the record label. They disagreed in some deadlines and decisions. Universal Music ordered Amaia to release a song before the tenth series of Operación Triunfo ended. To meet the deadline, the singer released "Un Nuevo Lugar", a very organic promotional single on December 18, 2018.
In January, Romero was confirmed to be part of the Warm Up Festival, which was set in Murcia in May 2019. This meant that the album's first single would be released a little bit earlier. Narcís Rebollo, the president of Universal Music Spain, confirmed in February 2019 that this would be released in September of that year. Rebollo stated that: "she wants to work in the whole part of composition, production, there are profiles of artists who have the ability or ease of making an album in six months and Amaia requires more time". Despite the president's statements, in April 2019 more information about the album got leaked. It was said that an economic conflict between Rebollo and Refree, the producer, caused the elimination of all the material produced by him which led Amaia to work with Santiago Motorizado to write and record over twenty songs in less than a month in order to release a single before hitting the Warm Up Festival stage,
On April 26, 2019, the singer finally announced the release of her first solo single. "El relámpago" was released on May 3 and peaked at number 24 on the PROMUSICAE chart and stayed on the list for over three weeks. The first promotional single, "Nadie Podría Hacerlo" was released on June 21, 2019. The second official single was released on August 2, 2019 and titled "Quedará en nuestra mente".
Amaia announced on June 28, 2019 through her respective social media profiles that her first studio album "Pero No Pasa Nada" will be released in September. She also revealed its cover, tracklist and tour. On August 18, 2019, the singer announced the official release date of the album.
