- #1 "Ella Baila Sola": A mix of "corrido, regional Mexican and rock en español." This song is performed by the Mexican group Eslabón Armado and Mexican singer Peso Pluma.
- #2 "Where She Goes": Although its title is in English, this phrase is only uttered once in the song. Its genre is called jersey club, a mix of electronic, house and rap rhythms, and is performed by Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny.
- #3 "La Bebe": The original version of the song was created in 2021 by Yng Lvcas. However, it was not until March 2023 that the remix with Peso Pluma was released. After this, the single broke records on music platforms. This track combines an urban Latin beat with a bit of electronica.
- #4 "Un x100to": Performed by Bad Bunny and Grupo Frontera, the melody of this regional Mexican song includes acoustic guitar and accordion. This is the second single where the Bad Bunny experiments with Mexican music after he called himself a "big fan" of the style.
