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.

No Me Fio
Luis Miguel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No me fío jamás de las miradas
De los brazos que abrazan sin razón
No me gustan las frases regaladas
Que me llenan de nada el corazón
No me fío de aquel que me conoce
Ni siquiera recuerdo bien su voz
De esa niña que dice haber besado
Esos besos que jamás me dio

No me puedo fiar
El miedo me ha hecho frío
Compréndeme
Si ya ni en mi confío
Mi soledad
Tal vez la adulación
Me han roto el corazón
Siento hastío
No me fío

No me fío de aquel que no me mira
Que tendrá contra mí su corazón
Me da miedo entregarme a tus caricias
Pues me han hecho tanto daño amor
No me fío de aquel que hace favores
Y presume de hacerlos por amor
No confío en aquel que vende amores
El amor jamás es un favor

No me puedo fiar
El miedo me ha hecho frío
Compréndeme
Si ya ni en mi confío
Mi soledad
Tal vez la adulación
Me han roto el corazón
Y siento hastío
No me puedo fiar
El miedo me ha hecho frío
Compréndeme

Si ya ni en mi confío
No me puedo fiar
Pues tras la vanidad
Llega la verdad
Luego el vacío
No me fío

No me puedo fiar
El miedo me ha hecho frío
Compréndeme
Si ya ni en mi confío
No me puedo fiar
Pues tras la vanidad
Llega la verdad
Luego el vacío

No me fío

Overall Meaning

Luis Miguel's song No Me Fio is a ballad that speaks to the lack of trust the singer has in others, their actions and their intentions. The opening lines speak to the gulf that can often exist between appearance and reality, with the singer saying, "I never trust in looks, / in arms that embrace without reason." He continues on to express his dislike for empty words that do nothing for his heart. The next lines reveal that the singer is equally distrustful of those he knows and those he doesn't. He does not even remember the voice of the girl who claims to have kissed him, which speaks to the sense of loss he feels.

The chorus of the song expresses the fear and loneliness he feels because of his distrust - "I cannot trust, / fear has made me cold. / Understand me, / if I no longer even trust myself. / Perhaps flattery / has broken my heart, / I feel loathing. / I do not trust." The second verse brings up another reason for his mistrust - the fear of being hurt. He does not trust the person who ignores him, nor does he want to give himself over to someone he fears may hurt him again by being conditional with their affections or not truly in love.

The song goes on to repeat the chorus several times, emphasizing the singer's unwillingness to believe in the sincerity of those around him. The final line of the chorus sums up the underlying message of the song - "No me fío" or "I don't trust," which speaks to the way past experiences can cloud our perception of the world.
