Regarding it, Martin spoke, "We chose [the song] because it represents who I am today. The title is a reference to the opening of another cycle."[2] "Adiós" premiered on September 22, 2014 on Uforia's radio stations in the United States and Puerto Rico.[3] The single has been released to digital retailers on September 23 in three versions, Spanish, English and English-French.[4] A mambo remix of the song was released on September 30, 2014 and features fellow Puerto Rican performer Nicky Jam.[5]
