He is widely regarded as the most successful artist in Latin American history, having successfully performed in a wide range of musical styles, including pop, ballads, boleros, tangos, jazz, big band and mariachi. Luis Miguel is also recognized as the only Latin singer of his generation to not crossover to the Anglo market during the "Latin Explosion" in the 1990s.

Despite recording only in Spanish, he continued to be the best selling Latin artist in the 1990s, and was credited for popularizing the bolero genre into the mainstream market. He has sold around 60 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists.

Latin pop music, along with his personal life and showmanship on stage, has made Luis Miguel popular for nearly his entire career, which started in Mexico in 1982. Having won his first Grammy Award at the age of fourteen for his duet "Me Gustas Tal Como Eres" with Sheena Easton, he is the youngest male artist in music history to have received this accolade. In 1991, the RIAA recognized the high sales for his 1991 album Romance, itself being the third best-selling music album in Mexico, and one of the best-selling Spanish language albums of all time. He was the first Latin artist to have been awarded two Platinum certified Spanish-language albums in the United States with ‘‘Romance’’ and ‘‘Segundo Romance’’ the latter earning him 35 platinum records throughout Central and South America. He is also recognized by Billboard, as the artist with the most top 10 hits on the Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart. His album Complices was released in 2008 and peaked at No.10 on the Billboard 200; it is the highest position a fully Spanish composed album has reached. His most recent album ¡México Por Siempre! was released in 2017, and it earned him his second No. 1 on the Billboard Regional Mexican Albums and achieved double platinum status.

Luis Miguel is also known for his high-grossing live performances. He is the first-highest grossing Latin touring artist since Boxscore began tracking touring data in 1990, with a towering total of $278.5 million. With the Luis Miguel Tour, which took place in 2010, he visited 22 countries in North America, South America and Europe, where he performed in a three-year span with a total of 223 shows all over the world, making it the longest and highest-grossing tour ever made by a Latin artist. He also holds the record for the most consecutive presentations in the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium) with a total of 30 consecutive concerts as well as the record for the most presentations in the same venue with a total of 258 concerts.

Overall Meaning

In Luis Miguel's song "Estrenando amor," the singer is experiencing the feeling of falling in love again after a previous relationship has left deep scars that were hard to overcome. The opening lines "De tu amor quedaban trozos por mi piel, que no podía desprender" (Pieces of your love remained on my skin, that I couldn't take off) illustrate the difficulty of letting go of past relationships and the emotional baggage that came with them. The chorus "Estrenando amor, sueños y caricias, nuevos besos nueva vida" (Starting love, dreams and caresses, new kisses new life) is a reference to the fresh start and the hope that comes with a new relationship.

The second stanza "Creí que nunca más volvería a amar, que tú ya habías llevado todo, todo" (I thought I would never love again, that you had taken everything, everything) depicts the despair and mistrust that can come from a bad breakup. The line "el tiempo inexorable te hará olvidar" (time will inexorably make you forget) acknowledges the fact that time eventually heals all wounds, adding that the singer is now excited about starting anew. The repetition of the chorus at the end emphasizes the renewed hope and joy that comes from the beginning of a new chapter in one's life.
