Planetshakers through their social networks announced their album in Spanish on November 11, 2016.[5][6] "We are excited to share 'Sé Quién Eres Tú' with our Spanish-speaking brothers and sisters around the world!" said Russell Evans, founder and senior pastor of Planetshakers. "And we have the honor of working with "Su Presencia" to achieve it! Our prayer is that these songs touch hearts for Jesus, encouraging, strengthening, empowering and equipping christians."[7][8] Unlike his first Spanish album "Nada Es Imposible", the album Sé Quién Eres Tú is performed by the singers of the Colombian Christian band "Su Presencia" and Pastor Danilo Montero, who participated in the single, "#LetsGo".[9] As producer of the album, Joth Hunt had the mission of giving a particular sound to each song. That's why he put in "Come Right Now" an "iconic" sound, as he calls it, to catch people from the beginning. This was achieved with a riser, a sound effect made with a synthesizer, which lets you know what song it is as soon as it sounds.[10] One day BJ Pridham, a Planetshakers vocalist, showed Joth Hunt, also the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band, a track that was playing on the radio. Both were struck by funky bass riffs (a musical phrase that is often repeated) and some dance elements. "It would be great to write a song of praise like this," they said.[11] "We use the sound and go directly to the verse, which focuses on the slap bass" (technique in which the bass strings are struck against the fretboard), explains Joth Hunt, who highlights the work of Josh Ham, bassist of the band, in this single.[12] Henry González, vocalist of the ministry of praise "Su Presencia", interprets Ven Aquí, the version of "Come Right Now" in Spanish, which was translated by the members of the Bogota group.[13]
