With collaborations with Latin hip hop artists including Mexicano 777 and K-7, the album's production was by a variety of music producers, including Luny Tunes, DJ Nelson and Noriega, while DJ Adam produced a majority of the tracks.

Queen collaborated with several top-name artist from the hip hop and reggaetón genres including Hector El Father, Fat Joe, Getto & Gastam, La India, Gran Omar and Mickey Perfecto, though this release does not have the collaborations.

These are "Papi Te Quiero" from the platinum edition of Diva along with "Sangre", a collaboration with Mexicano 777, "Me Acostumbré", "Tuya Soy" and "Guillaera".

"[6] Ramiro Burr of Billboard stated "Papi Te Quiero" showcases how "effortlessly and quickly she alternately sings and raps, claiming that she has a distinct vocal style that evokes Gwen Stefani".

[8] "Dale Volumen" ("Add Volume"), in a minor key, is characterized by simple harmonic progressions, synthesizers and stick-drum percussion and influenced by reggae and Afro-Latin music.

[9] "Dile" ("Tell Her") features lilting rhythms from Colombia (including cumbia),[10] combining Latin vallenato with reggaetón.

[13] "Mi Barrio" ("My Hood") criticizes "the problems present in Añasco, Puerto Rico".

[11] On "Tuya Soy", ("I'm Yours") she explains "the story of woman who suspects her husband of infidelity", a controversial theme which has been prominent in Queen's lyrical content.
