## Background

"Ni Tú Ni Ella" is an mid-tempo latin pop song written by Álvaro Torres. The song tells the story of a man's indecision about choosing between his couple and his lover, not wanting any of the two to suffer.

Torres said that the inspiration of the song came from the coincidence of two female friends of him. When he was in Los Angeles he had two female friends in the extremes of the city, and he thought they would never meet because of the distance, but finally that situation happened and he had to face it.
