Arjona wrote the song for his mother, Noemí Morales. She told him she didn't like it because it make her cry. He said that he "wrote the song as a gift for my mom in a Mother's Day and two sisters (a couple of years ago) [...] and i thought the idea of including it on the album was very good".(27 October 2011). "Ricardo Arjona canta al amor de su vida: su mamá". Tropicana. Retrieved 30 October 2011. Lyrically, "Mi Novia Se Me Esta Poniendo Vieja" revolves around how a son looks at their mother from a sentimental perspective, with Arjona singing "She loves me either if i gor as a warrior, or if I won the Nobel Prize for Peace / She doesn't care if i'm last or first, if i'm going as a conformist or as tenacious." He also said that he never thought to include the song in an album, just as happened with his single "Señora De Las Cuatro Decadas" from Historias back in 1994.
