<unk> different in style from his previous albums poquita ropa was produced using as few musical instruments as possible arjona 's goal was to produce the songs almost as they were born he achieved this by using nonexistent sounds to make the songs sound more acoustic arjona achieved a production style that made the songs sound like a capella performances and he said that music and women look better with little clothes

with poquita ropa arjona wanted to drastically change his musical style he tried to use as few instruments as possible resulting in a production that sounds like a capella performances arjona said about the album music and women look better with little clothes and that they [ the songs ] are like women they get things up and are so concerned about this that they forget that the less clothes more beauty the songs are often overwhelmed by ourselves because we saturate them with arrangements looking to exalt their qualities and we end up hiding them
arjona produced the album with the assistance of dan warner who has worked with shakira celine dion and christina aguilera jason birchmeier from allmusic commented that poquita ropa finds arjona at his most naked backed by spare arrangements of acoustic guitar piano and hammond b @@ 3 along with occasional touches of strings woodwinds and chorus vocals poquita ropa was the first album that arjona recorded without producer tommy torres whose last production was 5to piso ( 2008 ) the album is similar in style to arjona 's work on galería caribe ( 2000 )
puente the lead single is eight minutes and thirty seconds long and is divided into three parts the first part is an a cappella song with a piano accompaniment the second part is a ballad with caribbean and latin sounds with some salsa and cuban influences the third is a mixture of salsa and merengue with cuban influences mónica <unk> from newspaper la nación compared it with habana a 1999 song by fito páez

when asked about puente ' s main theme arjona commented although many believe is a threshed topic it isn 't for a cuban be it on the island or florida the status of this dispute hasn 't changed since 1959 and i 've never seen something as disgusting as a rivalry between people occasioned from politics chávez can fight with uribe fidel with obama but what has this to do with two third @@ generation cousins that inherit an enmity for a politic matter [ ] in the song arjona sings habana / siempre en las <unk> tan mitad española tan mitad africana / <unk> bien las <unk> que en cada <unk> siempre hay un <unk> / habana he also said that puente was the only song that was not allowed to undress
vida the second single is considered by arjona to be an autobiographical song he said that it contains a good dose of the life of my old man as a reference to his father don ricardo arjona who died in 2010 in an interview music video director joaquín cambre said that ' vida ' is a sweet song exciting and bitter nonetheless i tried to represent that mix of feelings crafting an ambience of hope inside of a story that inevitably has a tragic end ricardo arjona plays the song while listening to the story playing on an old disc arjona said that marta is one of those songs with <unk> related to something that happened put on the magnifying glass of the author when asked if <unk> una canción could be considered a guide for songwriters he stated that there are no guides to write songs if any songwriters would stop writing songs and start writing guides
arjona also said that mi país was the story of anybody who left their land and searched for life in another place with all that huge dose of nostalgia and memory those moments carries and that he wrote the song when he left guatemala que voy a <unk> conmigo was originally included as a rock song on his 1991 album del otro lado del sol but the lyrics were slightly changed on the new version arjona stated that it was a difficult process to leave the songs almost as they were born and that he had to convince the people who worked on the album that it was the way the songs were to be without adding any sounds
