- Laureano wrote and dedicated "Encontrarte es una Historia que Hoy Deberían Publicar" to his wife, while Auger wrote and dedicated "Tu y Mi Ciudad" to his.
- "El Asunto: Salcedo Sigue Siendo Mortal" is a reference to the Spaniard Diego Salcedo's drowning at the hands of the Taíno Indians of the island.
