Source-derived summary

Cosa Nuestra (transl. Our Thing) is the fifth studio album by Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro. It was released on November 15, 2024, through Sony Music Latin and Duars Entertainment. Guest appearances in the album include Bad Bunny, Pharrell Williams, Alexis & Fido, Feid, Romeo Santos, Laura Pausini and Latin Mafia, among others. Recording for the album took place at Electric Garden in Brooklyn, 5020 Studio in Miami and Sensei Sound in Carolina, Puerto Rico, with the entire album being executively produced by Alejandro. He worked with several producers, including Tainy, Cauty, Mr. NaisGai and Dímelo Ninow, on the album's production.

Primarily noted as a salsa and reggaeton album, its title is in reference to Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe's 1969 album of the same name, while the album's concept is inspired by the 1970s and New York City. It was supported by six singles, "Touching the Sky", "Déjame Entrar", "Pasaporte", the Bad Bunny collaboration "Qué Pasaría..." the Romeo Santos collaboration "Khé?", and the Laura Pausini collaboration "Se fue". Upon release, the album received positive reviews from contemporary music critics, who praised the diversity of genres throughout the album and the singer's versatility.

On July 4, 2023, while announcing and releasing his fourth studio album, Playa Saturno (2023), Alejandro stated that he would "rest" and told his fans to enjoy the album for a while, as he was not sure when he would record another album.
