The song was released by Fonovisa Records as the lead single from Castro's debut studio album Agua Nueva (1992).

At age fourteen, he formed rock band Los Demonios Deliciosos (The Delicious Demons) whom he performed with for two years.

After his departure from the band, Castro became a presenter at the annual OTI Festival where he performed the song "16 Diciembres" ("16 Decembers").

His friend, Alejandro Zepeda, resolved this problem by selling Castro's personal belongings, including his car.

[2] In 2012, Castro recorded a live version of "No Podrás" with new arrangements by Matt Rolling and produced Aureo Baqueiro and features fellow Mexican singer Benny Ibarra.

[10] An editor of Caretas magazine, while giving Agua Nueva a negative review, felt that "No Podrás" was "excellent work" and remarked that the other songs in the album did not come close to its quality.

[11] On the review of the Castro's compilation album Esenciales: The Ultimate Collection, Heather Phares of Allmusic commented that "No Podrás" had a "slinky" feel.
