Production

In an interview for The Monitor López told that he was motivated to record "Infiel" for love of Rocío Dúrcal's version as used in the opening sequence of the telenovela Mujeres Engañadas, and which was released on her album Caricias a year prior: "I love novelas and the way Rocio Durcal sings 'Infiel,' then I added the old style of Mazz". He also stated that he "recorded 17 songs from which I picked 10 for the CD, which took me three years to finish", and that "he difference on this CD is that I brought back the synthesizer, which replaces the accordion, congas and all kinds of instruments, and this makes the CD 100 percent Tejano".
For Abilene Reporter-News López expressed satisfaction at the success of Mazz Fuerte Que Nunca: "In three days, I have sold close to 210,000 copies and in two weeks 430,000 CDs. Never in my career have I done this I guess people were waiting for the CD", going on to say, "I'm doing it all my style, the style I started In 1978. There was no other Tejano style with the synthesizer, orchestra and keyboards."
Interviewed by Tejano reporter Ramiro Burr, López stated: " album was a real challenge as a singer. I tried to sing in the higher keys. I added more heart to it. I even cried on... Perdona Cariño. That's how much feeling I put into them."
