Spanish pop singer Ana Mena has shared behind-the-scenes studio footage and audio previews of her upcoming album on her official Instagram account. The artist from Malaga offered followers a look into her recording process, posting clips that feature song teasers and creative work with her team.
The update features multiple studio clips showing Mena recording vocal tracks alongside songwriter and producer José Montado Cruz, known publicly as J. Cruz. Cruz previously co-wrote Mena's collaboration Pa ti toa with singer Lola Índigo, suggesting a continued artistic partnership for the new project.
In the audio fragments, Mena can be heard singing the English phrase baby, please in one recording session and vocalizing a melodic "ohh" over another track. Additional footage shows a piano melody marked by a click track, a timing tool used in recording studios to keep musicians in sync.
The carousel post also includes a silent clip of Mena dancing in the studio to one of the newly created tracks and video of her discussing music in Italian with a colleague. She is also seen posing with Italian singer Federica Abbate, a longtime songwriting partner with whom she recently shared a vocal and piano performance video.
In the final video clip of the post, Mena shared a longer audio snippet featuring lyrics about enduring deep pain and being unable to cope. The recording footage captures her singing and working on the material for the first time with her production team.
Building Hype for New Music
The studio disclosure follows months of teasing from the singer regarding her new material. In May 2026, following the release of her single Lárgate, Mena informed fans on Instagram that she was spending extended time in the studio because new music was coming, generating strong anticipation across her fanbase.
Following her collaboration with Lola Índigo on Pa ti toa, Mena launched her summer festival circuit, titled the Summer Affair Tour, on June 13, 2026. Marking her return to touring after two years, she posted a message expressing gratitude to fans, describing the tour kickoff as an emotional rollercoaster and thanking them for their ongoing support.
Personal Life and Media Rumors
The album preparations follow recent changes in Mena's personal life. At the end of June 2026, news broke that Mena and actor Óscar Casas had ended their relationship, concluding a romance that had previously drawn significant public attention.
Sources close to both parties reported that the separation occurred naturally and amicably, without third-party involvement. Those within their circle emphasized that the former couple remain on good terms and retain mutual affection.
Mena has also addressed ongoing media speculation about her dating life, publicly denying rumors linking her to professional footballer Ferrán Torres. The singer described reports of a romance between them as complete inventions, adding that the persistent rumors were uncomfortable.
