==Background==
At the time, bachata was defined as music from the rural areas of the Dominican Republic with lyrics considered too crude and vulgar to the public's taste. It was characterized by an acoustic guitar accompanied with bongo drums and maracas.〔 After releasing the album ''Ojalá Que Llueva Café'', Juan Luis Guerra began experimenting with the genre by performing bachata alongside Dominican artist Sonia Silvestre on her album ''Quiero Andar''. The result was an early demo of "Como Abeja al Panal" ("Like a Bee to the Hive"). Silvestre said that Guerra was dismayed when he learned that Silvestre's album ''Quiero Andar'' was in bachata; he did not become fully committed to the genre until after "Como abeja al panal" was released as a single where it was a hit in the United States.〔 The song was first released for a Barceló TV commercial.
After "Como Abeja al Panal" was released as a single and achieved success, Guerra continued working on bachata music, which served as a key element in ''Bachata Rosa''. Silvestre explained the name of the title by saying that "() bachatas were rosa () while mine was red". Guerra's bachata focused on the language of lower-class and used synthesizers for his production whereas Silvestre's bachata relied on a synthesized accordion for her music.〔 Recording took place in the 4-40 studio in New York City, Guerra's personal studio. The album was released by Karen Records.〔
