In April 2013, it was announced that Royce had signed a record deal with Sony Music Entertainment to release his third Spanish-language studio album under Sony Music Latin and debut English-language recording under RCA Records.
This came after the fizzled relationship between Royce and Top Stop that ended in two lawsuits, in which Royce was sued by the label for breach of contract.
In a statement, Peter Edge, the CEO of RCA Records, said: "We are thrilled about the opportunity to work with such a dynamic Latin artist on his first English album.
Prince Royce's early successes have paved the way for the next generation of Latin music and we are eager to join forces with our partners Sony Music Latin to fully maximize his music and career."
That same year, Royce was honored with the BMI Latin Songwriter of the Year.
Royce was also one of the three coaches on Telemundo's La Voz Kids, a singing competition featuring children aged 7–15 with a $50,000 prize for their education.
He became the winning coach for the first season with his team member Paola Guanche, and again in the second season with Amanda Mena.
He was replaced by Daddy Yankee for season three.

On July 15, 2013, the lead single from Royce's next studio album was released, "Darte un Beso".
It reached number-one on multiple Latin charts and was certified three-times platinum in the Latin field.
His third album, Soy el Mismo, was released on October 8, 2013 and reached number fourteen on the Billboard 200.
The album earned Royce his second nomination for Best Contemporary Tropical Album at the Latin Grammy Awards of 2014.
He was then nominated for three awards at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, for Top Latin Artist, Top Latin Album for Soy el Mismo, and Top Latin Song for "Darte un Beso".
The latter won the award for Streaming Song of the Year at the 2014 Latin Billboard Music Awards.
