Production and Development
After Selena released Ven Conmigo on 12 November 1990, she decided to postpone the recording of songs for her next album. Selena continued her short-lived Ven Conmgio Tour and she was booked for her first performance in El Salvador to sing a duet with Salvadoran singer Álvaro Torres' corrido-ballad "Buenos Amigos". At that time, Selena was also involved in a relationship with rock guitarist Chris Pérez, who was asked to join Selena's backing band, Selena y Los Dinos. Their relationship began soon after Pérez joined the band. Selena's father and manager Abraham Quintanilla Jr. did not like Pérez, believing him to be antithesis of his children's "clean image", and dismissed Pérez from the band. Selena was warned not to see Pérez or face having Selena y Los Dinos disbanded. Selena ignored her father's wishes; she continued to meet Pérez secretly, and they eloped on 2 April 1992. Quintanilla Jr., accepted the relationship after she eloped and was remorseful, feeling that he had put pressure on Selena. After Selena had eloped, she decided to release a more Tejano and Mexican music-influenced album. Her brother and the producer of her music, A.B. Quintanilla III had returned as the main songwriter while band members Ricky Vela, the lead keyboardist, and Pete Astudillo, the backup singer, had helped with songwriting on the album. Vela was also in charge of the music sequencing during pre-production of the album.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or development:
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
