The album contains songs from the group's previous studio albums that were translated into English for the release, as well as new songs that were recorded exclusively for the album. Rebels falls into the genres of Latin pop and pop rock, with dance-pop, reggaeton and R&B stylings, which were new music styles for the group.[1][3]
To promote the album, only two official singles were released off the album. On September 22, 2006, the album's lead single was released, a cover of the ballad titled "Tu Amor", which was composed by Diane Warren. With the song, the group won the Les Etoiles Cherie award in France for 'International Song of the Year'[4] and a Mi TRL award for 'Best Music Video'.[5] The album's second single was "Wanna Play", which was released only in the United States. The single did not have an accompanying music video. The third and last single to be released from the album was planned to be "Money Money", but the song only managed to be released as a promotional single in Spain on December 19, 2006.
On March 21, 2007, a deluxe edition of the album, titled We Are RBD, was released only in Japan. The deluxe edition included two new cover tracks: "Let the Music Play" and "Gone", which were originally recorded by Shannon and Kelly Clarkson, respectively.
RBD member Christian Chávez mentioned that Rebels would be re-released in late 2007 or early 2008 and that the new version would contain new songs and a collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas[6] on one of the tracks. The group's next single off the album was expected to be featured on this future re-release.[7] Billboard magazine even published that the re-release would happen in early 2008 and it would feature three hip hop-influenced songs.[8] When the group disbanded in 2009, nothing about the re-release was announced, so it is assumed to be canceled.
