"Cuando Me Dé la Gana" is a ranchera song. Despite being featured on the album's La Tormenta chapter, which focuses on vulnerability, the song's lyrics are empowering, with Aguilera telling someone that she can stop loving them whenever she wants to. The duet version of the song reached the top 15 on the Billboard Latin Digital Song Sales chart in the US, and received a nomination for Best Regional Mexican Song at the 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards, where Aguilera and Nodal performed the song for the first time.
