However, Otis came into the hands of producer Dr. Luke, known for having collaborated with Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears. He contacted Rebecca Gómez and made a meeting to listen live. After convincing himself, he had her sign with Kemosabe Records, his record label. Dr. Luke confessed to the media that he was already enchanted with her since he saw her videos on YouTube, but that he was more surprised by the fact that she could play the guitar and sing simultaneously, apart from discovering that she composed the lyrics for her songs.

After starting to work from the moment she signed with Kemosabe, Becky G released in 2012 versions of the songs Oath, the singer Cher Lloyd, Wish U Were Here, Cody Simpson, and a remix of the song Problem, from the animated film Hotel Transylvania, in conjunction with William James Adam Jr. A year later, she would release her interpretation of Jenny from the Block, Jennifer López’s song, changing the title to Becky from the Block.
