During a live chat with Ricky Martin and Sebastián Yatra on Instagram on 3 September 2021, Iglesias suggested that Final would be the last album in his career he would release.

The album was originally scheduled to come out in 2017, but was pushed back due to Iglesias' touring commitments, so instead more singles were released.

"[5] In addition to previously released singles which were collaborations with Wisin, Descemer Bueno, Zion & Lennox, Bad Bunny and Pitbull, the album includes his 2015 duet with Nicky Jam, "El Perdon".

She stated that Iglesias was "worn out" and described the album as "surprisingly unsexy", which positioned him "more as court jester than the Latin king he once was".

She called "Chasing the Sun" a "bland auto-tune fest" and although she thought "things pick up a tiny bit" on "Me Pasé" and "Súbeme la Radio", she described "El Baño" as "ludicrous", criticising its lyrics about how Iglesias's lover "can 'make [him] so hard'" that he wants to go to the bathroom to have sex.
