The name of the album is a nod to the musicians of the RMS Titanic, as the album was released in a context of financial crisis and troubled times in different aspects of life. Sabina stated in an interview, "As Spain goes adrift, we play on, as in the Titanic."

The album's release led the two musicians to embark in their second joint tour, named Dos pájaros contraatacan ("Two birds strike back"). This tour also resulted in a live album recorded at Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that would be released in November 2012.
