Despite Los Chicos' success in Latin America, the band soon separated. Although the group's members were still clearly remembered by their fans during early 1984 (period during which the band was still, officially, together), the group did not manage to record new albums. On August of that year, after many months of rumors both by the Puerto Rican media and by the public, Carlos Alfonso held a press conference with Tony, Chayanne and the rest of the band by his side. They all got a chance to speak and express their feelings before the official announcement of the band's breakup was made.

Los Chicos fans and Puerto Ricans in general as well felt that either Tony or Chayanne were the most likely ones to succeed in show business as solo singers. It was the latter, however, that went on to become an international singer, as Tony eventually faded out and retired from music.
