Song information

The song was written by Fonseca.[4] During an interview he said about the song: "Is made with my style, but is a bolero after all. Is the first time that write a bolero and there we will release".[5]

In November 2009 Fonseca offered a live concert transmitted by the Latin music channel HTV, where he had the opportunity to perform twelve songs. One of those songs was "Estar Lejos", the first time that he performed the song. In an interview he explained the lyric content and the inspiration that was born of his artistic situation: "In this profession one travels constantly and although I enjoy every step I take, sometimes being away hurts me too".[5]
