Composition and production

Each track of Contra el Viento is preceded by a short, spoken-word intro. These commentaries were recorded by a range of women García identifies with, including Mercedes Sosa, Natti Natasha, Lila Downs, and Sofía Vergara. According to Billboard, the commentaries serve "as the framework for a deep dive into the full range of a personal evolution, going from loss and disillusionment to self-awareness, rebirth and finally, love again".
The album was produced by Marcos Sánchez and recorded by Orlando Di Pietro, Larry Coll, José E. Diaz, Orlando Ferrer, Harold W. Sanders, Ismar Colón and Daniel Bitran Arizpe.
