He is one of the most internationally recognized latin artists in decades past. His pop style of merengue and bolero and Afro-pop/Latin fusion have garnered him considerable success outside the Dominican Republic. Juan Luis Guerra is sometimes associated with the popular Dominican music called bachata, and while this association is partially true, he actually uses the basics of Bachata rhythm with a more bolero feel to the melodies in some of his songs.[1] He does not limit himself to one style of music, instead, he incorporates diverse rhythms like merengue, bolero-bachata, balada, salsa, rock and roll, and even gospel as in the song "La Gallera". "Ojalá Que Llueva Café" ("I Wish That It Rains Coffee") is one of his most critically acclaimed self-written and composed pieces. A remix of "La llave de mi corazón" ("The key to my heart") with Taboo from The Black Eyed Peas is also an example of his fusing of different genres.

Mi pasta dental
Mi guitarra Fender y mi celular
Mi libro de sushi comprado en Perú
Mi bata de baño y mi champú
Oh, mi bici, mi moto
Mis discos de rock
Mi piano de cola, mi televisor
Mi silla y mi estante
Todo lo que tengo es tuyo
Tuyo, tuyo
Tú la única en mi vida
Tuyo, tuyo, tuyo
La razón de mis anhelos
Tuyo, tuyo, tuyo
El vaivén de mis te quieros
Tuyo, tuyo, todo y más
Todo es tuyo nena
Aja
Todo es tuyo nena
Mi vida, mi cielo
La que interpreta el fondo de mis sueños
Mi casita y mi conuco
Mis flores de primavera
Y el rinconcito de la luna, todo es tuyo bella
Y cada vez que yo te veo caminar, mi corazón
Retozón, hace pum!, kitipun!, kitipun!
Pum!, kitipun!, kitipun!
Mis pinos del patio
Mis cartas de amor
La quinta de Mahler grabada en Japón
Mi bandana Levi's y mi Toblerone
Mis dos maraquitas pa' tocar son
Mi aceite del Prado
Mi agua Perrier
Y mi camomila pa' yo hacerme un té
Mi almohada, mi sueño, mi despertador
Mi fiesta y mi traje
Todo lo que tengo es tuyo
Tuyo, tuyo
Tú la única en mi vida
Tuyo, tuyo, tuyo
La razón de mis anhelos
Tuyo, tuyo, tuyo

Todo es tuyo nena
Mi vida, mi cielo
El diccionario en fa de mis te quiero
Mi corazón de bachata
El do de mi cafetera
Y el rinconcito de la noche, todo es tuyo, bella
Y cada vez que yo te veo caminar, mi corazón
Retozón, hace pum!, kitipun!, kitipun!
Pum!, kitipun!, kitipun!
Pum!, kitipun!, kitipun!
The lyrics of Juan Luis Guerra's Kitipun express the singer's love and devotion to his partner, offering everything he owns and cherishes as a tribute to her. The verse describes a list of items that are important to him, such as his savings account, his guitar, his piano, his bike, and his personal care products. However, the repetition of the phrase "todo es tuyo" (everything is yours) throughout the song emphasizes that all these possessions are meaningless and empty without his beloved. The chorus highlights her positions in his life - she is his everything, the reason for his dreams, desires, and love.
Furthermore, the song makes use of a few playful expressions, such as "hace pum!, kitipun!, kitipun!" which may be translated as "it makes a boom!, pow!, pow!" These words serve to show the singer's enthusiasm and joy whenever he sees his partner walking by, and his deep emotional involvement with her. There's also a cultural reference to the sound of maracas (a percussion instrument commonly used in Latin American music) in the lines "mis dos maraquitas pa' tocar son" (my two maracas to play music).
