The news of the documentary comes a few months after Aguilera released a Spanish-language EP La Tormenta in May and La Fuerza in January, and went on a European promotional tour of her new songs. She released the final part of her trilogy, EP La Luz in September and spoke to Billboard about what the song – and final part of the Spanish-language EP trilogy – meant to her.
