XOXO is the fourth and final studio album by Latin American boyband CNCO, released on August 26, 2022, by Sony Music Latin. It contains the genres of reggaeton and Latin pop, with lyrics about partying, heartbreak, romance, and sex. Co-written almost entirely by the group's members, the album features vocals from Kenia Os, Adriel Favela, Beéle, and contributions from several producers such as Los Legendarios, Richi López, and the band's own Zabdiel de Jesús. XOXO is the boyband's last album before their disbandment, announced in July 2022.
The lead single "Toa La Noche" was released on June 22, 2021, marking their first song as a quartet. The second single "Party, Humo & Alcohol" was released in January 2022, followed by "La Equivocada" in April. The fourth and fifth singles, "No Apagues la Luz", and "La Equivocada (Versión Tumbao)" with Favela, were released simultaneously on June 23. "Plutón" with Kenia Os was released in July, and the seventh and final single "Miami" with Beéle, was released on August 24.
The group announced their farewell tour, titled La Ultima Cita, to promote the album and also performed previous material. The concert series spanned throughout the Americas.
Background On October 11, 2019, they released their debut EP Que Quienes Somos. The project saw the group gain creative control over their music, co-writing most of the EP. The band announced their third concert tour, Press Start, which was set to begin in 2020, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During quarantine, the group recorded their cover album Déjà Vu, released in February 2021. During May, member Joel Pimentel announced his departure from the group, with his final day being their live virtual performance on May 14. The remaining members stated that they would continue as a quartet.
Release and promotion On July 22, 2021, CNCO performed "Toa La Noche" at Premios Juventud. The next year, they performed "Party, Humo & Alcohol" at Premio Lo Nuestro on February 24, where they won the awards for Pop Album of the Year for Déjà Vu, Pop Song for "Tan Enamorados" and Pop Group or Duo. On April 21, the group appeared at the Latin American Music Awards of 2022, performing "La Equivocada", where they also received the Favorite Pop Album award. They performed "Plutón" at the 2022 Premios Juventud ceremony, which took place in July 21, with the last-minute absence of Kenia OS, due to the singer testing positive for COVID-19. While accepting the award for Best Fandom during the ceremony, de Jesús announced that the band would split up in a year and half.
After the event, the group posted photos on their social media showing the members wearing jackets spelling out the album's title in red letters. XOXO was released on August 26, the sixth-year anniversary of CNCO's first album Primera Cita (First Date). The band embarked on their final tour, La Última Cita Tour (The Last Date), which started on May 12 in Lima, Peru.
