Zapopan features reworked/remixed and re-titled versions of songs which were originally released on Saber, Querer, Osar y Callar (2012) and Unicorn Skeleton Mask (2013). The album title refers to the city Rodríguez-López lived in at the time of recording. Most of the remaining songs from Unicorn Skeleton Mask appeared on Zen Thrills in 2017.

"Spell Broken Hearts" was uploaded in advance as the album's single. It then appeared alongside "Tentáculos de fé" on the 2017 live album Chocolate Tumor Hormone Parade.
