Furtado also worked with Julieta Venegas, who wrote the song "Bajo Otra Luz" and also contributed to another song called "Vacación", playing the accordion. According to Cuba, the three got together five times between September 2008 and February 2009 and wrote nine songs, six of which made it onto the album. Cuba then helped them pen more songs, including the title track, "Mi Plan", and "Manos al Aire". After approving of the idea, she said that she, Cuba and Bryan started "really organically writing songs" in Spanish. She mentioned that fellow Canadian singer-songwriter Alex Cuba suggested that they try writing the lyrics in Spanish and then he would go on to write the melodies. She said she would try to write songs in English and then in Portuguese but that she did not feel inspired. Mi Plan Remixes, a remix album was released in October 2010, featuring remixes of the singles.įurtado began working with guitarist and producer James Bryan on "My Plan", for a possible English language album.
