On September 6, 2022 Karol G embarked on the Strip Love Tour.[3] "Gatúbela", a collaboration with Maldy was released on August 25, 2022 as the following single.

Concept
The name of the album is a phrase I kept repeating to myself when nothing felt great. Every day I'd say to myself, 'It's okay, tomorrow will be beautiful'.
— Karol G explaining the name of the album.[7]
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Karol G revealed the concept for the title, stating: "This definitely represents a specific phase of my life. The name of album is a phrase I kept repeating to myself when nothing felt great. I mean, I was going through the best moment of my career, but personally I was really disconnected from myself and from my friends. I wasn't unhappy, but I wasn't happy either. So every day I'd say to myself, 'It's okay, mañana será bonito, tomorrow will be beautiful.'"[7]
In a later interview with The New York Times, she described the album as "more Carolina than Karol G". She added: "Right now, I notice that artists are trying very hard to find a concept, to be very experimental, I love that. And that's a good way to do art. But the concept of this album is just me being me. I really didn't want people to feel it was like very simple, or just normal."[6]
