Before he had a big successful music career Jose Manuel Figueroa (Joan Sebastian's legal name) passed most of his childhood from place to place. At age eight he was sent away by his parents to Guanajuato for school. When he was eleven he return to Juliantla, his native town, this return inspired him to begin formally composing. But he was sent off again to a monastery in Morelos where he was under the care of father David Salgado. Due to the influence Father Salgado had on Sebastian he took the decision of becoming a priest. So at age 14 he enrolled in the Seminario Conciliar de San Jose(located in Cuernavaca, Morelos). But he soon realized that music was his true calling so when he was 17 years old he abandoned the seminary to dedicate himself completely to the music business.
Meanwhile he made a living as an administrative assistant in a vacationing resort in Oaxtepec, Morelos, where he would sing through the intercom. It was in that resort that Sebastian found the incentive he needed to pursue his singing dream more aggressively. The year was 1968 when Joan Sebastian encountered Angélica María (a famous Mexican actress) who was looking for a place to stay. While she waited she asked him if he sang and the following day he sang for her six songs. Angélica María suggested to Sebastian that he record the songs and gave him the telephone number of Eduardo Magallanes, a music producer. Without hesitating Sebastian moved to Mexico City and began knocking on doors until Chucho Rincon from Discos Capitals agreed to listen to him and thus began Sebastian's artistic career. He recorded his first disc and the positive results came fast when in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, the song "Descartada" sold 12 thousand copies. previous. His most recent production up to date is "Secreto de Amor" which was released in 2000 and sold over 1 million copies.

He was awarded "The Silver Pen Award" in 2000, and was named el jefe

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sabes enamorarme
Tu mirada indiscreta
Ha sabido cautivarme.
Tu juventud endulza
Lo amargo de mi años
Tu has hecho que realice
[Choro]
Un cariño como tu
Un cariño como tu
Es lo que yo necesitaba,
Un cariño como tu
Un cariño como tu
Lo que a mi vida le faltaba.
Un cariño como tu
Un cariño como tu
Es lo que yo le pedí al cielo
Un cariño como tu
Un cariño como tu
Hoy de alegría me desvelo.
Eres una coqueta
Sabes de tu hermosura
Sabes y te fascina
Darle cuerda a mi locura.
Dicen que estas jugando
Y yo me he preguntado
Quien diablos les ha dicho
Que jugar es un pecado.

The lyrics of Joan Sebastian's song "Un Carino Como Tu" depict a man who is infatuated with a flirtatious woman. The opening lines state, "You are a flirt, you know how to make me fall in love. Your indiscreet gaze has managed to captivate me." Despite her behavior, the man can't help but be drawn to her youthful energy, as it sweetens the bitterness of his age. He credits her with helping him realize his most cherished dreams.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of having a love like hers in his life. The lines "A love like yours, a love like yours, is what I needed. A love like yours, a love like yours, is what my life was missing" show the depth of his feelings for her. Even though she is seen as a flirt who enjoys feeding into his madness, he doesn't see that as a bad thing. He argues that she is just playing and asks who told them playing was a sin.
Overall, "Un Carino Como Tu" is a song about the power of love to transform someone's life. It showcases how even someone who is perceived as a flirt can bring about a significant change in someone's life, and how one can't help but fall for someone who brings sweetness to their world.
