Background

Following the release of "Te juro que volveré" in August 2023, the first promotional single from the album, Laferte announced that she had an upcoming album set to be released later in the year. Laferte released "Tenochtitlán" as the first single for the album in August 2023, without an official announcement yet, but giving clues about the artistic direction of the record. Laferte said that "I loved this new creative work, I wanted to try new things from previous albums. I'm really excited, I feel that this is my best album yet".

Later in October, Laferte announced the name of the album as Autopoietica, a term that comes from "autopoiesis", coined by the Chilean biologist Humberto Maturana. Laferte explained the concept as "Our cells create themselves. In other words, life creates life. Everything in the end is cyclical. So, I loved that idea and I took it to a poetic sense: we are all autopoietic beings, I am autopoietic, I have the ability to recreate myself all the time, to create this universe, my personal mythology".

Thom Jurek from AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, writing that "Laferte's only recording to deliberately borrow ideas from her catalog. Titled after the term "autopoiesis," coined by the Chilean biologist Humberto Maturan, it's defined as "a being able to self-create or re-create itself". Laferte claimed it as a metaphor for herself and humanity: We have the ability to re-create ourselves at any time, creating new universes and personal mythologies in that process."

Pitchfork writer Isabelia Herrera defined the album as "The endlessly adaptable Chilean star flexes her versatility across synthy bossa nova, breezy trip hop, pummeling dance-punk, and dirty perreo."
