To escape the tension caused by the requirement of new hits from the record label, the band took refuge at a site in the mountainous region of the state of Rio de Janeiro and began to compose. During this period, bassist Patrick Laplan decided to depart from the group, apparently dissatisfied with the new sound of the band. The producer and collaborator Alexandre Kassin replaced him during the recording of the album. When the album was delivered to the label in April Music, it was rejected on the grounds that there were no potential hits and the production was considered amateurish. The April Music demanded that the album be remastered. In an agreement, the producer Marcelo Sussekind would remix the album. However, he liked the original version and produced an almost identical version, delivered to the record company.[4][5]

The album had low sales compared to the previous one. This might be partially caused by the record company April Music not promoting the album very much for the lack of a potential big hit. Only a long tour managed to keep the band active, generating new fans and giving a certain "cult" status to the group.[6][7][8]
