The first single from the CD, "Crimen sollicitationis", was released on 5 September 2008. Nicolas Sarkozy's voice is sampled in "La Colmena". The sleeve notes include lyrics to the songs and, according to the sleeve notes, the lyrics are also available in both French and English at Ska-P's official website.
Lágrimas y gozos is the first album since Ska-P's break-up in 2002.[2] The title of the album was a choice between Azufre ("sulphur") or Lágrimas y gozos ("tears and joy"). They explained their decision in choosing Lágrimas y gozos in an interview for the Spanish daily El Mundo:
Tears and joy is a phrase in the lyrics of Crimen sollicitationis – which is a direct attack on the Vatican for covering-up sexual abuses at a worldwide level. The phrase reflects the tears of the abused children and the joy of their abusers. However, it's a phrase that can be extrapolated to life, some [people] cry because of the joy of others.[3]
All tracks are written by Ska-P.
