"Spiral" was released in November 25, 2021, as the lead single from the EP. In April 20, 2022, its title track "Sembrando" was released as its second single; Pluma stated that the song was for anyone who "liked consuming marijuana".[4] Its release date was chosen for the famous moniker "4/20", in the same way the title of the EP alludes to this.[5]
