Background

edit

In February 2018, the singer (then known under her original name, Aitana Ocaña), was proclaimed the second finalist of the Spanish talent show Operación Triunfo, in its ninth edition.[1] After that achievement, the Barcelona-native singer began working on what would be her first album. In March 2018 she signed a record deal with Universal Music.[2] On 16 March of that same year, her first compilation album was released.[3] It includes the themes she defended during her time in the TV show. In April 2018 it was reported that Aitana had traveled to Los Angeles to give shape to her first musical project.[4] After the promotion given to her first single, "Lo malo", ended, she moved away from social networks and the public eye to give the final touches to what would later be Tráiler. On 17 July, the singer announced the name and release date of the first single from the EP, "Teléfono". The single was released to the music market ten days later.[5]

On 25 October, the singer visited the Spanish talk show El Hormiguero 3.0. where she unveiled the name of her first project.[6] It would be called Tráiler and, according to her, "it's like a two-piece album. The time interval between the two EPs will be little more than two-three months because I think that today we devour more than we consume and, for that reason, I like the idea of doing everything little by little. The first part will be released at the end of November. It has a strange name, after a lot of thought, I decided that it was called Tráiler because it is like an appetizer of only six songs of everything that is to come later."[7][8]

A few weeks later, on 13 November, the singer unveiled via her social media the cover of the EP, which was photographed by Valero Rioja. On 19 November, the EP's track list was released online.[9] Two days later, the official remix of "Teléfono" was released on digital music platforms. It features Venezuelan personality Lele Pons. On 22 November, the singer announced the first EP signing parties in Barcelona, Seville and Madrid. The song "Popcorn" accompanied this announcement.[10]

This reached the first position in the PROMUSICAE sales list and remained there six consecutive weeks. The music video for the song was premiered simultaneously with the song.[12]

In November 2018 she announced that the EP's second single would be "Vas a quedarte".[13] The song went on to become Aitana's third number-one single in Spain, additionally being certified gold. It has also gone on to become the most-streamed song in its first twenty-four hours on Spotify Spain, surpassing the previous record which was also held by her previous release "Teléfono".[14]
