Background
Before to "Grito Mundial", "El Ritmo No Perdona (Prende)" was released, back later he explained that was just to give the fans a little taste of his new album 'Daddy Yankee Mundial'. The song was produced by El Musiclogo and Menes "Los de la Nasa", and was released on October 8, 2009 Airplay and digitally October 20, 2009.
The song has been compared with fellow Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin's worldwide hit "La Copa de la Vida", and Yankee it said he would like that the song to be used for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, as use "La Copa de la Vida" on the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Shakira's song "Waka Waka", was chosen instead.
Controversy
In a 2010 Facebook video, former collaborator Eddie vila (previously known as Eddie Dee) was asked about his relation with Daddy Yankee. He stated that, following creative differences between both that started in 2005 (with 2007 being the last time both communicated), he released a single in 2009 for his ultimately unreleased mixtape '180 Grados', entitled "Eso No Va Conmigo". Though not a diss track, vila has confirmed to have dissed Yankee in certain lines. This was because vila had been announcing his single when Yankee released "Grito Mundial" on the same date as vila's single, effectively overshadowing the latter. Angered and denying it to be a coincidence, vila changed some lines in his single in order to be directed towards Yankee. He considers this event as the motive, as he originally didn't reference his former ally.
