In November 2022, Cano would release the single "AMG" with Peso Pluma and Gabito Ballesteros, which got all three artists their debuts on the BIllboard Hot 100, debuting at number 92 and later peaking at number 40.[2] He would announce in the beginning of June 2023 that he would be release a new album and previewed the artwork; it closely makes a reference to fictional character Tony Montana from the 1983 film Scarface.[3]
Cano was disappointed upon the release of Nata Montana. Its now-removed first track "Cuerno Azulado" with Gabito Ballesteros was shown as unable to play and was part of a controversy. Also, "Viejo Lobo" with Luis R. Conriquez was released without Conriquez's verse and the album was titled Nata Montaña.[4]
Prior to the removal of "Cuerno Azulado", which was visible on streaming platforms but unable to be played, it served as the first track out of the 16 tracks off the album. It would be reduced to 15 tracks after the track's removal a few days later.[4]
All tracks are written by Natanael Cano, except where noted.
