The EP was recorded by Rusty Santos (Panda Bear's Buoys), a collaborator that Mendoza quickly recognized she had many parallels with: both have lived in Southern California, New York and Mexico, and have an appreciation for Latinx producers and artists. "The title of the EP (LuvHz) encapsulates all types of love and the hurt than can come with it: love in relationships, love for the environment, and love for one's culture."
