Maye was on the songwriting team of Aitana's song "Nada Sale Mal", and was also part of the songwriting team of Aitana's 2019 debut album Spoiler. She and her father were also part of the songwriting effort behind Danny Ocean's song "Dime Tú", and she performed backing vocals as well.

The album's second single "Peter Pan" was released on May 30. On June 27, Maye released her debut album Música Para Abrir El Cielo, which was noted by Billboard as one of the best new Latin albums of the week.
