The cover of Parte de Mí is a puzzle-based design; "I think the cover is a good representation of human beings, showing that we are all the sum of fragments, cuts, parts. We liked to play with the idea of a puzzle to show that it is in any order, we are all the total of various little things that complete us and make us who we are", explained the singer.

From there I was born a lot of inspiration, to create something with a mafia style, but with my ideas. This is how ‘Mala Vida’ came about and with an incredible video it was perfectly captured. I always wanted to make a video based on a trailer and The Godfather and Italian culture was the trigger and my inspiration". "Verte," featuring Argentine singer Dread Mar I and Argentine producer Bizarrap, was released as the third single from the album on December 10, 2020.
